SriViliputtur
History of srivilliputtur and its temples
it is believed that a long time ago srivillipudhur was just a forest. the was called shenbagaranyam (forest of shenbaga trees). In his varaga avatar .Lord vishnu come there for a rest under a banyan tree after annihilating kalanemi an asura king.
villi and puttan were brothers and hunters . In one of their hunting adventure villi lost his brother to a tiger . He was saddened. In his dream appeared Lord vishunu and told about the banyan tree and asked to go the cave. villi found out not only the idols of vatapatrasayee-sri vishnu in resting posture-but also fell upon a treasure of gold and silver.
Thus andal became the foster child of periyalwar. She became very devolted to lord vatapatrasayee. She plucked flowers and made garlands for the lord. But every day she wore the garlands,and then she sent them for the god. On noticing this conduct, periyalwar felt very sorry.He scolded the child.He prepared fresh garland and offered it to lord.But to his dismay,patrasayee did not accept the garlands.Instead he demanded the garlands worn by kothai nachiyar. Immediately priyalwar understood that andal was a divine being. From that day onwards she became to be known as'Soodithantha sudarkodi'.
using all the wealth villi created villiputtur and the temple of vatapatrasayee.it was later renovated by periyalwar,pandiyas

The other name is vishnu sittar. periyalwar made garlands for his lord vatapatrasayee. He gave lectures on the philosophy of 'saranagathi' : sung poerns on god.
