The Padmanabhaswamy temple is a well-preserved antiquity that was built as a duplicate of Thiruvattar's Adikesavaperumal Temple. Despite the fact that the origins of this temple are unknown, worshipers believe it has existed since the beginning of the Kali Yuga, which was 5000 years ago. The Bhagwad Gita also mentions the Padmanabhaswamy temple. Balarama, Lord Krishna's older brother, is said to have visited the temple, bathed in the Padmatheertham, and presented various offerings to the deity.
