The Sundararaja Perumal temple was constructed in the Dravidian style of architecture and is mentioned in the Divya Prabandha, the religious canon of the Azhwar saints of the 7th-9th centuries AD. The temple priests, who belong to the Vaishnavaite community, perform the pooja (rituals) daily and during festivals. The Theerthavari festival celebrated in the Tamil month of Maasi (February-March), and Vaikunta Ekadasi celebrated during the Tamil month of Margazhi (December-January), are the major festivals celebrated in the temple. The Sundararaja Perumal temple is one of the 108 Divya Desam temples dedicated to Vishnu.
