Tiruvengadamudayan promised Sumatirajan to give darshan as Parthasarathy and had the Vigraha Pratishta by Atreya Maharishi. Hence this Kshetra is also called Second Tirupati. Utsava Moorthy Parthasarathy has scars on the Divine face caused by Arrows from Bhisma while He was Charioteer to Arjuna during the Mahabharata war.

This Kshetra is within Chennai city about 3 kms. from Chennai central station.
