Vallimalai swamigal was sent here by his Guru Seshadri Swamigal of Tiruvannamalai to spread the Thiruppugazh. The Sthala Vriksham here is Magizha maram which is also that in Tiruvannamalai. In many ways this temple is closely tied to that in Tiruvannamalai. This is the place where Lava and Kusa fought Rama himself. This is the place where Lakshmana was defeated by Lava and Kusa, bringing Rama. This is the place where the horse of Sri RamaвЂ™s Ashwamedha Yaagam was tied. Indra was crowned Devendhran only in this place. Devas were given Devendhira-patnam only in this place. The Lord who was pleased with her bhakti, made her hands join even without the signs of any wound.Дevas have taken Amirtha in this place. Even then, Murugammai cried for help only with Lord Muruga.

But she never listened to him and her husband one day cut her arms off out of anger. Her husband who didnвЂ™t like her worshipping all the time was warning her to stop it. She always used to chant His name and praying Him, for years. She had been a very ardent devotee of Lord Muruga here. Some hundreds of years back there lived a lady called Murugammai in this village. Murugammai, ardent devotee of Lord Muruga: Siruvapuri is believed to be the Kusalapuri of Ramayana. This place is now called as Chinnambedu, which originally was Siruvar Ambu Edu (Children who took their arrows for the fight). (Siruvar means children, Por Puri means waging a war, in Thamizh). Once when Rama was passing through this place, they have fought a war with Rama himself without knowing that he was their father.В As the young children waged a war here, the place was called as Siruvar Por Puri. History of the temple has that Lava and Kusa, the sons of Rama lived in this place and prayed to Lord Muruga at this place and got his darshan.
