Kattumannarkoil is a Pilgrim Spot in ancient epic and tourist centre. Sri Veera Narayana Perumal Temple (the birthplace of Sriman Nathamunigal amd Sri Alavandar - Sri Vaishnava leaders),located here is an sacred temple for the followers of Shrivaishnavism. The first Paranthaka Chozha alias Veeranarayanan renewed Sri Mannanarkoil by brick construction. But there is authority to prove that Mannanar Perumal Temple was in existence even before the Chozha king paranthakan (Uthama Chozhan's 16th year stone inscription). The stone inscriptions of Krishanadevaraya convey that the place of this temple is Veeranarayana Cheri which later turned as Veeranarayanapura Chadurvedhi Mangalam. Sadaya Varman Sundara Pandian installed the present deity Sri Veeranarayana Perumal in the 13th century. He renovated the temple fully.
