This shrine is opened only on Vaikunta Ekadesi. There are shrines in the prakara-corridor for Lord Lakshmi Narayana with Mother Mahalakshmi on His lap, Vishwaksenar and Azhwars.

| sthala_puran | Kubera, the God of Wealth, came down to earth to seek relief from a curse he incurred. After praying at many temples of Lord Shiva, he desired to worship Lord Vishnu. He made a vigraham of the Lord, installed it on the banks of River Tambiraparani, and worshipped it. Over the course of time, the place disappeared. The Lord appeared in the dream of a devotee and disclosed His presence in the place. The devotee found the vigrahams. The temple was built later. Lord Adhi Varahaswami in the sanctum sanctorum graces the devotees in a sitting form on the lotus designed stage-Padma Peeta- with Mother Bhooma Devi on His lap looking at Him. As the Lord is always with Mother, He is praised as Nityakalyana Perumal – Perumal ever in His wedding style; hence, the place is also called Kalyanapuri. As a tradition, Thayar and Sri Andal have their shrines separately in prakara on both sides in Perumal temples. Here, Mothers Sridevi and Bhudevi are in separate shrines in the prakara. Great celebrated musician and composer Sri Muthuswami Dishithar had authored many Keerthanas-Songs on Adhi Varaha Perumal.
