This temple was renovated by the King Krishnadeva Raya during his conquest in Tamil Nadu to regain land from Islamic invaders and re-instate the traditional vedic life style along the river of Cauvery. Hence the name Krishnarayapuram. This place is also called Sithalavai. The railway station is Sithalavai(SEV).<br />
