Thiruparkadal village, known as Karapuram in ancient times, is a scenic fertile area surrounded by greenish fields and is the site of two Sivan temples and two Vishnu temples. This is the location where Lord Vishnu lay on Adisheshan to prevent the gushing Sarasvathi river from disrupting and destroying the yagha performed by Lord Brahma to seek the grace of Thirumal at Kanchipuram.
