Legend:

Hindu myth says that Venkata Krishnaswamy, Rukmini, Satyaki, Balarama, Pradyumna, and Aniruddha were worshipped by the Saptarishis, a group of seven wise men. According to the Mahabharata, Vishnu, in his form as Krishna, drove Arjuna’s chariot during the war with the Kauravas. During the war, Krishna did not take any weapons with him. During Arjuna and Bhishma’s fight, Bhishma’s arrow hit Krishna and hurt him. People think that the mark on the image in the temple goes with the story. 

The place is called Allikeni, which means “lily pond,” because people think that in the past, it was full of lily ponds. The only place where the god in charge wears a moustache is there. Another story says that the area used to be a Tulsi forest. A Chola king named Sumati prayed at the Srinivasa temple in Tirupathi to see Vishnu in the form of Parthasarathi. Srinivasa told the king to go to this temple, which was built by a wise man named Atreya and was worshipped by him and another wise man named Sumati.

Triplicane Parthasarathy Temple Vaikunta Ekadasi Sorgavasal:

1. Pilgrims who want to go to the Triplicane Parthasarathy Temple Sorgavasal on the day of Vaikunta Ekadasi must plan their darshan ahead of time. Most of the time, pilgrims will not be able to book online at the temple. Also, the temple won’t take reservations ahead of time.
2. On the day of Vaikunta Ekadasi, pilgrims who want Darshan must go straight to the temple. Then the pilgrims can go to the front of the line, get the Darshan, and get into the Sorgavasal.
3. But because there will be more people, both entering the temple and getting the Darshan will take longer than expected. On this day, it will take the pilgrims 18–19 hours to see the Darshan.

The temple, on the other hand, gives the VIP Darshan to VIPs and pilgrims who come with the highest recommendations.
