Sri Kamalavalli Nachiyar Thirukovil.
In the hereditary of Dharmavarma Cholan, was a King called Nandha Cholan, ruling the Chola Dynasty with Woriyur as Capital. He was also an adorn devotee of Lord Ranganathar. He ruled his Dynasty prosperously and every citizen was happy. Only the King had no child. Lord Vishnu asked Goddess Mahalakshmi to become the child of King Nandha Cholan. Once when the King went for hunting, he heard a child's cry, went in search of it and at last found a child on the lotus in a pond. He brought up the child as his own and named her Kamalavalli, as She came come Lotus.
When Kamalavalli grew up, She went to festival at Sri Rangam and admired the beauty of Lord Ranganathar; pledged to marry Him. Lord Ranganathar appeared in the dream of King Nandha Cholan and told him that his child is none but the Goddess Mahalakshmi and Lord Ranganathar will marry Her. He dressed Kamalavalli as bridegroom and took Her to Sri Rangam Ranganathar Temple. When Kamalavalli went near Lord Ranganathar, She vanished and Lord accepted Her. King Nandha Cholan came to Woriyur and built a temple in memory of the marriage of Lord Ranganathar and his daughter Kamalavalli.
Lord Ranganathar here is called Azhagiya Manavaalan.(Beautiful Bride).
There is no Utsavar in this sthalam as Sri Ranganathar of Sri Rangam came here to marry Sri Lakshmi and the Utsavar of Sri Rangam is considered to be the Utsavar of this sthalam too.
In this sthalam, Periya Pirattiyar is giving her seva in two different ways. One is Irundha (sitting) seva and the other one is Kidantha (sleeping) seva. Combining both, she is giving seva as "Urayum" seva (from sitting seva to sleeping seva), this temple is called "Thiru Urayoor".

கோழியும் கூடலும் கோயில் கொண்ட கோவல ரேயொப்பர் குன்றமன்ன பாழியும் தோளுமோர் நான்கு டையர் பண்டிவர் தம்மையும் கண்டறியோம்வாழிய ரோவிவர் வண்ண மெண்ணில்மாகடல் போன்றுளர் கையில்வெய்ய,ஆழியொன் றேந்தியோர் சங்கு பற்றி அச்சோவொருவரழகியவா.Was He the cowherd Lord, residing in the temples of Uraiyur and Madurai? He had four mighty mountain-like arms. I have never seen Him before, bless him! His frame was the hue of the deep ocean. He bore a radiant discus and a conch. Aho, was He beautiful !
