The city of Pazhayarai was one of the capital towns of the Chola empire. The temple is a part of the series of temples built by Aditya Chola along the banks of river Cauvery to commemorate his victory in the Tirupurambiyam battle. Sri Vimalanayaki along with Sri Dharmapureeswarar grace the temple at Vadathali. This temple is also known as Vallalar Koil and it is considered as one of the “Vaippu Sthalams”. This is a Madakkoil built by king Kochengat Cholan. It is believed that once this temple was closed and buried under the ground by some Jains (Samanar). When Saint Thirunavukkarasar (Appar) had come to Pazhayarai, he realized that something was unusual about Vadathali. When he enquired the local people, he was told that the temple in the village was hidden under the ground by the Jains. He then started fasting (“Sathyagraham”) here in order to find the location of the Shivalingam. It is believed that Lord Shiva came in the dream of the local Chola king Manimudi Devan and told him to assist Appar. The temple and the Shivalingam were found and re-established for worship.
