Once upon a time, Maa Parasakthi/Goddess Parvathi, was performing penance in kanchipuram, one of the pancha bhuta sthalas, in remembrance of Lord Shiva in order to marry lord Shiva. Lord Shiva was also pleased with the penance of the Goddess and came to Kanchipuram to marry the Goddess. Devas, Gandharvas, Sages, Siddhas and Rajathi Rajas all visited Kanchipuram to witness the marriage ceremony of the Goddess. The city of Kanchi was filled with huge crowds, so maharshis searched for peaceful places on the banks of the Palar river to perform their eternal karma anushtanas. They stayed in the forests on the banks of the Palar river and performed all their eternal pujas and worshipped the Swayambulingams in those forests. Located on the southern bank of this Palar river, Veppur is the number one temple in the Shadaranya Kshetra temples. This was a forest of neem trees. The Kula Guru of of Lord Sri Rama Sri Vasishtha Maharishi was considered to have performed all his eternal poojas to Shiva and Lakshmi Narayana at Veppur.Valmiki, Bharatwajar, Gautamar, and Attri Maharishis were also considered to have worshiped Lakshmi Narayana Perumal at Veppur. Since Lakshmi Narayana Perumal was worshiped by the Maharishis, the temple gets its own importance and gets blessings of the Rishishis also. A Fish logo is found in on the ceiling of the temple. So this temple vimanam is basically called as Macha Vimanam. This temple might have been built by the Pandya kings.
