When monsoon failed resulting in famine in the north, people there migrated to Periakulam and settled on the banks of Varaha River.  They prayed to the Lord to protect them from famine in future.  They installed the Lord under a banyan tree and worshipped Him.  Later, kings built the temple for Perumal with Sridevi and Bhoodevi and a shrine specially for Moher-Goddess Periyanayaki, continuing the pujas, according to hearsay stories.
