History of the temple

 

Ennkann Sri Aadhi Narayana Perumal Temple 

Adi Narayana Perumal Temple is located at Enkan near Thiruvaur in Tamil Nadu. The unique aspect of the temple is that murti of Bhagavan Vishnu worshiped in the temple is sitting atop Garuda. Thus, devotees get the opportunity to have Garuda seva darshan daily.

This is one rare temple where Vishnu appears atop Garuda in the sanctum santorum. Legend has it that once Sage Brigu was performing penance in the place where the temple stands. A chola king led his hunting expedition through the place and this disturbed the penance of the Sage. When the sage opened his eyes he saw the king attempting to hunt a lion.

The sage in anger cursed the king to have the face of a lion.The king begged for forgiveness. The sage asked the king to take holy dip in Vettaru River and offer prayers to Vishnu.
The king followed the advice of the sage and had darshan of Vishnu atop Garuda here
