Thondaiman was an ardent devotee of Sri Venkateswara Swamy. After he built the temple, Swamy occupied it. Thondaman came to the temple every day and worshiped Swamy with golden flowers. When Thondaman became old he was unable to travel up to Tirumala. Then, Venkateswara Swamy gave him darshan at Thondamanadu itself and blessed him with his perpetual presence there. In this temple, Venkateswara Swamy blesses devotees along with Bhudevi, and Sridevi by his side.
