This Temple is believed to be built by the Pallava Kings. Thiruvadhigai or Thiripuravadhigai as its known originally  is a village between Panruti and Cuddalore. It is believed that Lord Vishnu became the Saram (Arrow) for Lord Shiva to burn down the Tiripurandhakas and hence He  is called Saranarayana Perumal.  Saranarayana Perumal is found in Kalyana Thirukkolam with Sridevi Thaayar (no Bhoodevi) as he married the daughter of Margandeya Sagi here . The Goddess is called Hemambujavalli and the Utsavar is called Govinda Vinnagarappan.  The most unique feature of Saranarayana Perumal Koil is that it is only here that we find Lord Narasimha in a sleeping posture as Sayana Narasimha with Goddess Lakshmi at his feet. . Though this Temple is situated in a narrow street its kept immaculately clean and tidy giving a pious touch.
