After killing Ravana Sri Rama stayed at Truda-netrar's hut in this kshetram. Because he killed Ravana
he had committed Hatthi Dosha ( to deprive any human being of his life is a sin. This rule will be
apply even though Rama was god's incarnation.) Accoding to the sage's advice he stayed in the
hermitage for four days and gave a golden cow to a brahmin as alms. That person sold the
golden cow and built the temple as it is now.Hence this place is called sempon sai kovil
Legend There was a brahmin boy named Kasyappa living in Kanchi with his parents. They were very poor. Kasyappa tried many ways to escape from poverty. But he could not. Once he met a sage who taught him 'Narayana Jabam' and advised him to recite it 32 000 times in three days at Nangoor kshetram. Accordingly he left kanchi and reached Nangoor. Kasyappa selected a quiet place under a neem tree and recited 'Narayana-Jabam' sincerely 32 000 times in three days. Narayana appeared before him and granted a boon with lot of golden bars. From that day the deity is called 'Sempon Rangan'. Whoever wants to regain his wealth that he had lost visits this temple and worships the deity here sincerly will certainly get back all his wealth.
