About Temple:Sri Moozhikkalathaan Perumal Temple is revered as one of the 108 Divya Desam temples The mythology behind the name of this place is Hareetha Maharishi did penance and meditation on the banks of river Poorna (Chalakudy River). Lord Mahavishnu got impressed by the dedication of the Maharishi and appeared before him on the beginning of the Kali yuga. Lord Vishnu gave some advices to Hareetha Maharishi to overcome the difficulties in Kali yuga. These advices are called "Thiru Mozhi" meaning 'Sacred Words'. And thereafter this place got its name as "Thirumozhi kalam" – kalam means place.

Sthlapuranam :
In this sthalam, there is no separate sannadhi for Thaayar. Only, Bhagavadhi Amman sannadhi is found. Near to this sthalam, the Aalvaai river is found. The speciality of this sthalam is during the time of pooja done for the perumal, there is no music instrument are played. It is said that all the temple's Gopuram, Mandapan and pragharam of this sthalam are built by Lakshmanan (brother of Sri Ramar) and he did various service to this temple.
During Ramayana, on hearing that Sri Ramar had been sent to the forest, Bharadan went in search of him to return him to Ayodhya for doing Pattabishekam for him. On seeing Bharadan coming from Ayodhya, Lakshmanan got angry with him and tried to kill him.
Since, because of this bad thought and sinful act, to get out the sin, Lakshmanan served and got the seva of this sthala Emperumaan, Moozhikkalathaan.
At that time, it is said Bharadhan arised in this sthalam and higged each other and spoke various nice and beautiful words (Mozhi). Mozhi means the languages what we speak.
Since, they transferred beautiful languages (Mozhi) with each other, this sthalam is named languages (Mozhi) with each other, this sthalam is named as "Thirumozhikkalam" and later changed to "Thirumoozhikkalam".
It is said this sthalaperumal is said to Laksmanan. There is a great explaination about this sthalaperumal. Generally, if a person does any bad things (or) sin, he should not be the person who can give justice to it.
If a person does any sin, he should accept that and should be in a position to accept the punishment and should feel for it. The person should do proper prayasiktham (an action performed after a sin is made to make the perumal satisfied).
Likewise, Lakshmanan due to his sin made against Bharadhan, is seen as the Moozhikkalathaan on the banks of Aalvaai river. This sthalam is said to be the sthalam where the Paava Mannippu (the sthalam where the sin of Lakshmanan is apologized by Bharadhan). The perumal gave his prathyaksham for Vishwamitra Maharishi son Aareetha Maharishi.
In this sthalam only, the great Sri Sakthi Mantram is explained by the perumal.
