It is said that he stores the Thiru - Mann (a sacred mark of Sri Vaishnavites which they smear on the fore head) Kaappu. There is a story about this and it is that when Sri Ramanujar was leading his life in this sthalam, one day he could not get the Thiru Mann to get smeared. On that night in his dream, Emperumaan came and explained that he can get the Thiru Mann in the place where Sri Garudalwar is found now. And as said by the perumal, Sri Ramanujar went to that place and got the Thiru Mann.
