About The Temple
Mogappair was once Maga-p-peru (meaning "blessed with a son"). This name derived from the belief that the deity in the Santhana Srinivasa Perumal Koil there granted the blessing of parenthood to childless couples. After persistent mispronunciation, the name `evolved' to its present form. This 650 years old temple is very powerful to give the boon of a child (santhanam) which is called Maha-Peru in Tamil and that's how the place became Mugappair. The main deity Santhana Srinivasar is 9.5 feet high. Couples praying for child take the Santhana Srinivasar vigraham in their lap as part of their prayer. Thulaparam is also being done. Poojas are taking place throughout the day till the Ekantha Seva in the night as in Thirumala.
