Tiruchanoor Srinivasa Temple History:
More than two centuries back, a Sri Vaishnavite seer known as Kethandipatti Swamy stayed in the temple vicinity. He hailed from Lakshmipuram, a rich agraharam near Kuppam, who donated his properties worth Rs. 4 lakhs in those days to the poor and came here to lead a monastic life. His disciple was Sri Vedanta Ramanuja Maha Desikan, who later came to be known as “Tirupati Swamy”. He, in turn, ordained sainthood to his disciple and renamed him Sri Ranga Ramanuja Maha Desikan, who became known as “Kozhiyalam Swamy”.
Born in 1882, Kozhiyalam Swamy assumed sainthood in 1920 and served till 1944 at this temple. The private temple, which was managed by the family trust of former Lok Sabha Speaker Madabhushi Anantasayanam Ayyangar, a native of Tiruchanur, lost its sheen and prominence later. The TTD acquired this temple in 2008 and renovated the Temple at the cost of 5 crores.
