History

Krishnarayapuram has temples of Thirukkan Maleesarar and Vandar Kuzhali Amman. This temple was renovated by the King Krishnadeva Raya during his conquest in Tamil Nadu to regain land from Islamic invaders and re-instate the traditional vedic life style along the river of Cauvery. Hence the name Krishnarayapuram. This place is also called Sithalavai. The railway station is Sithalavai(SEV).
