Sthlapuranam :
This sthala perumal, Aadhikesavapperumal is found in the same thirukkolam
(Sayana thirukkolam) as found in Thiruvananthapura sthala perumal. Anantha
padmanabhaswamy. He is also found along 3 Entry points known asVaasals which
represent the evolution (birth), leading of life and final stage, the death. But, the
only difference in Thiruvananthapura perumal is found in Bhujanga Sayana kolamfacing East direction, but this sthala perumal is found in the same Bhujanga sayana
thirukkolam but facing west.
Thiruvananthapura Padmanabhaperumal gave his prathyaksham for Chandiran, the
moon god, like the same way, this sthala perumal, Aadhikesavaperumal gave his
prathyaksham for Chandiran, the moon god.
The east direction, which is said to be the moon setting direction is the direction
faced by Padmanabha perumal (Thiruvanandhapuram), but this sthala perumal,
Aadhikesava perumal (Thiruvaattaaru) is facing along the western direction, which is
said to be the rising direction of moon, is said to be special side.
In Thiruvananthapuram, the perumal has a big structured body, but in
Thiruvaattaary, the perumal is found in Siriya thirumeni (Small in structure) in
Kidantha kolam. As a result, the vimaanam Ashtaakshara vimaanam is also small in
size.

SRI AADHI KESAVA PERUMAL TEMPLE PRAHARAM
The specialty about this sthalam is, the thaayar is Maragadhavalli Naachiyaar. The
colour that is related to periya piratti is yellow mixed with Red colour. But,
Maragadham (Green clour) is related to Vaishnavi Devi. Because of this, this sthala
thaayar is said to have the power of Vaishnavi Devi.
Another specialty of this sthalam is the way in which the perumal is positioned. He is
found in such a way that everyday he gives his seva to Chandiran, the moon god.
During the setting of sun, the rays of the sun is falling on the Moolavar's face as
though it says that it will leave today and come tomorrow. After the sun sets, the
moon appears (or) rises from the same direction where the sun sets and first sees
the Moolavar and get his dharshan. This is one of the specialty of this sthalam (i.e.)
the perumal's position.
The unity of Saivam and Sri Vaishnavam is best explained by Thiruvananthapura
Padmanabhaperumal. Likewise this Thiruvaattaaru Aadhikesava perumal also
explains how people should follow the God and explains the unity of Saivam and
Vaishnavam.
Sriman Narayanan has a special amsam, the Kesavaartham which explains that
Narayanan did a strong tapas and merged into the body of Sivaperumaan and this
amsam explains the union of Vaishnavam and Saivam. So, Kesava means Narayana
along with Shiva.

87. THIRUVATTARU Once, there lived an Demon (asuran) by named "Kesi", who gave lots of problem to
humanity. This sthala perumal fought with Kesi and finally he defeated him and
slept on his body. Aasoori, wife of Kesi worshipped Ganga devi and asked her to
save his husband from the perumal. Hearing this request, Ganga along with
Tamirabharani river merged together and ran fast towards the perumal who is found
on Kesi. On seeing the rivers, the perumal ordered Bhooma devi to make the placeto some height. Being raised, both the rivers could not flood the place, but they flow
around the perumal as if they worshipped him. But at the same time, when both the
rivers touched the body of Kesi, he got purified and got Mukthi. Because of this, the
perumal is called as "Aadhi Kesava Perumal". In spite of being an asuran, Kesi was
able to hug the body of perumal while fighting and it itself inplies that he will be
given Mukthi done the perumal.
