Maharishis once found that the Devas were residing in the place, hence the name Devarkalai Kanda Oor, which later changed as Devar Kanda Nallur.  The entrance is on the east.  There are five kalasas at the entrance.  The Mahamandap has an accommodation facility for 400 people.  There is a kalasa on the Vimana – the tower above the sanctum sanctorum.

Lord Vinayaka and presiding deity Kumaraswami with His consorts Valli and Deivanai are facing east.  The wedding hall is on the left side.  The opposite side of the temple is a plain ground with a Neem tree.  The antiquity is believed to exceed 1000 years. The consecration of the temple took place in October 2011.

Devotees pray for removal of delays in marriages, for child boon, promotion and other developments in life.

Being close to Lord Sri Thyagaraja and Vilamal Patanjali Manoharar temple, the place and temple gains added importance.

Wife of Vallala Maharaja was in her advanced stage of pregnancy.  The child, when born on earth would cause devastating calamities according to the prophecy of Maharishis.  They sought the help of Mother Parvathi who came down as a midwife.  The King sought her service for his wife.  Using he occasion, Mother Parvathi destroyed the evil child and no drop of the blood fell on the floor.  Knowing the fact, when the king tried to kill Parvathi, She became furious and beheaded the king.  Lord Vishnu as Peddarayan Easan and Shiva as Utharandaraya with other Devathas came down to cool Parvathi.  Yet, as Devi was still furious, Lord Muruga came down and cooled His Mother, people raised this temple for Lord Muruga and also performed the consecration.  The temple is under the administration of HR & CE.
