If Srinivasa Perumal is on the seven hills, then Govindaraja Perumal is at the feet of Seshachala mountain. This temple, which is filled with the richness of the great art, has been receiving daily worship for more than thousand years. Devotees believe that the Darshan of Swamy who is the idol of Shayanamurthy will remove many sins. Govindarajaswamy who was in Chidambaram at that time was sent by Ramanujacharya to Tirupati to be worshipped. But for some unavoidable reasons, Govindarajaswamy could not replace them in the temple. Instead of the statue, the statue made of clay was established. Even now Govindarajaswamy is receiving the poojas. Usually in any temple we see, statues with stones and metals but.. there is a yellow statue in Govindarajaswamy temple.
