This kshetram has four names: Since Lord Narayana married on each day, He is known as Nitya Kalyaana Perumal and the kshetram, Nitya Kalyaana Puri; Since He took the form of Varaaha perumal and blessed Bali, this place is known as Varaahapuri; Since this became the avathaara sthalam for Sri, it is also known as Sripuri; and finally most inscriptions in the temple refer to this place as Kaala nalluur

This Divay desam does not have a Raja Kopuram. It has a 24 leg Mandapam at the entrance. It is in a beautiful location, surrounded by trees (called Sauk thoppu sp??) and facing the Bay of Bengal, on the way to Mamallapuram from Chennai. The Village near by used to be called Komalavallipuram, now popularly known as kovalam (VGP beach). This is where kaalava rishi performed his meditation.

The Lord's Moolavar form is very unique, with right foot on the World and the left foot on AdhiSesha, with the Thaayaar on His left thigh, explaining the Carama Slokam. The dot (pottu) on the Lord's chin (thaadaiyil pottu) is said to have appeared naturally. It is also said that the Lord took 360 kannikai in 2 kannikai: Komalavalli Naacciyaar and Akilavalli Naacciyaar. Among the 360 kannikai, the first Sri was named Komalavalli, hence there is a seperate sannithi for Komalavalli Naacciyar.

Temple inscriptions indicate that Raja Raja Cholan, Raja Raja Chola thevan and Kulothunga Cholan performed kainkaryam here (So this area might have belonged to the Chola empire at one point). This divya desam has a pallakku made from Elephent Tusks. There are only two such pallakku, the other in Kocchi Maharaaja palace. This might indicate the yaathraas undertaken by keralites (Malayaalis) and their kainkaryam for Deepa Araathanai (as per inscriptions).

Tiru mankai azhvar was the only azhvar to compose paasurams on this divya desam. As per the inscriptions, Tiru mankai azhvaar had a madam under a different name (kalich singan) Sri Manavaala Maamuni also performed mangalaa saasanam here.

At present unmarried male and female worshipers, visit this divya desam to get His blessings for a quick and good marriage settlement.
