The presiding deity is Bhakthavatsala perumal in  a standing posture and the Goddess is Sudhavalli also called Ennaipetra thayar. The sacred water is varuna pushkarini and the sanctum sanctorum is Uthbala vimanam. There is a shrine to Lord Rama on the banks of varuna pushkarini.

The legend has it that Varuna - samudraja - worshipped Lord Vishnu at  this kshetram. It is also believed that the Lord visiting this kshetram followed by Lakshmi, made it His home and hence the name Tiru Ninravoor.

It is said that Tirumangai Azhwar (ardent devotee) after worshipping at this shrine left without singing a pasuram (sacred hymn) The Lord followed him to Mamallapuram where he sang the pasuram referring to this kshetram.
