There are six inscriptions in the temple deciphered by the Archaeological Department.
The inscription from a ruler named Konerimaikondan records a gift of five velis of land as a tax free gift to the temple.
The temple also obtained grant for building and maintenance of a garden from a ruler who defeated the Cheras.
The Pandya ruler Jatavarman Kulasekaran I (1190–1216 CE) also offered a similar grant to the temple.
Maravarman Sundara Pandyan (1216–1238) made offerings to perpetual lighting of the temple.
An inscription from his reign also indicates the installation of the shrine of Vaikuntavalli.
Vira Pandyan IV (1309–1345) offered land to the temple to perform special poojas in the temple during his birthday in the Tamil month of Vaikasi.
During 1801, the temple acted as a fort for the British against the forces of Veerapandiya Kattabomman (1790–99).
It is believed that the marks of war and destruction of Pandiyan history by the later nayakkar were visible in the temple during modern times.
