Saga
The legend has it that, Muthupattar, belonging to Brahmin community visit Papanasam once and fell in love with two women belonging to backward community, but was unable to marry them because of caste indifference. So he converted into a low caste person and married them, but soon after their marriage, one of the cows in the village was lost and Muthupattar went in search of the cow sparing his own life. At last he died a historical death after saving the cow, his two wives also followed him and embraced death. The people were touched by his heroism and built a temple for Sorimuthu Ayyanar and his two wives.
This temple is revered as the first Ayyapan Stala, Lord Ayyappa as a young boy, came to this place and learnt martial arts. He worshiped Lord Sori Muthu Ayyanar, to give him success in all his endeavors. Later he went to Sabari hills. People of Papanasam offer Pongal to this Ayyanar before commencing any of functions. The devotees who are all taking a pilgrimage tour to Ayyapan temple (Sabari hill) wear the first Ruthraksha chain (malai) at this temple.
Specialty
There are many unique features in this temple. One such unique feature is Pattavarayan shrine, devotees tie chappals at his shrine and submit their woes too. The next year they can find the chappals worn out, even though no one used it.
It is still a mystery at this place. There is a illupai tree (Mahua tree) near the temple and devotees have a practice of tying bells to it, if the bell got struck between the branches, then it is a sign that the devotee’s prayers will be taken over by Sori Muthu Ayyanar.
This temple is located in a perfect place, surrounded by lush greeneries and lovely ambiance. A small stream passes across the temple, and a bath in it will wash away all our body pains.

In Jainism, Yakshis (or Yakshinis) are female guardian deities who serve as protective attendants, or shasan-devatas, to the 24 Tirthankaras. They are always depicted in pairs with their male counterparts, the Yakshas, typically standing to the left of the Tirthankara’s idol, while the Yaksha stands on the right.
Role and Nature: Yakshis are considered benevolent intermediaries who have not yet attained final liberation (moksha). They are revered for their devotion to the Tirthankaras and are approached by devotees for worldly gains, such as fertility, protection, and prosperity, rather than spiritual liberation.
Origin: These deities belong to the Vyantara class of heavenly beings and were either appointed by Indra or were devoted followers of the Tirthankaras in previous lives. Their traditions likely originated from ancient Indian nature-spirit cults that were integrated into Jainism.
Prominent Figures: Several Yakshis are widely worshipped independently. Ambika is the Yakshi of Neminatha and is highly popular for granting fertility. Padmavati serves Parshvanatha, while Chakreshvari is the Yakshi of Rishabhanatha (Adinatha) and is worshipped for success and obstacle removal. Jwalamalini (Chandraprabhu’s Yakshi) and Siddhayika (Mahavira’s Yakshi) are also significant figures in Digambara and general worship.
