The Great Irulappa Swamy Temple needs a separate mention. Apart from the Kula Deivam  of Ilayarasanendal rulers, he is the Kula Deivam of many cutting across various communities / castes in  Southern districts of Tamilnadu - Madurai, Virudhunagar, Tuticorin and Tirunelveli. One can find his abodes in Srivillipuththur, Elayirampannai, Krishnapaerai, Eruchanaththam, Vilampatti, Keelarajakularaman, Vagaikulam, Idaiseval, Paeraiyur, Alathoor, Koovachipatti, Melaneelithanallur, Kayaththar – these are only a few.  

He is worshipped as Kuladeivam by Tamils and Telugus of the Carnatic region, Carnatic is the region of South India lying between the Eastern Ghats  and the Coromandel Coast, in the states of  Tamil Nadu, south eastern Karnataka, north eastern Kerala and southern Andhra Pradesh. He has originated in a fierce guardian figure to defeat / kill the enemies. He is worshipped by Rulers, Zamindars – such is his power. 

Ilayarasanendal Irulappa Swamy Temple belongs to Kamma Naidu community. His temple is in South West Corner of Ilayarasanendal, so that he can lead his Kul well under the control with good decision making power. The temple is big, however with simple structure without Gopurams etc. He has Karuppa Swamy for his Kaval.

 If you have The Great Irulappa Swamy as your Kul Dev, you will be having many of his attributes: 

YOU ARE MAGNANIMOUS; 

YOU ARE A WARRIOR; 

YOU ARE A SAVIOUR OF YOUR NEAR AND DEAR; 

YOU EXCEL WHATEVER TASK YOU UNDERTAKE WITH FAME; 
YOU OUSTER THE ENEMIES;

KINGS / RULERS / SUPERIORS WANT TO BE FRIENDLY WITH YOU. 

These attributes needs to be reinstated, by visiting his temple atleast once in a year; before your marriage; before constructing a house; with your parents; with your children; with your brothers. You go with your problem, you will get a solution. Offer him Sweet Pongal. Ilayarasanendal Irulappa Swamy is believed to be a vegetarian. His padayal consists of all sorts of seasonal fruits, like Mango, Jackfruit, Bananas, guava alongwith Sweet Pongal and Tender Coconut Water. If you wish to offer "Kada virundhu" it is only to his Kaval Karuppa Swamy. Important Date - Masi Maha Shiv Ratri.
