At the end of the 48 days it is believed that their illness is cured by the grace of the presiding deity, Prasanna Venkatachalapathi.

Impressed with his sincerity, the Lord appeared before him along with Goddess and promised to remain here till the end of Kali Yuga.

Pleased with the darshan of Prasanna Venkatachalapathy, Gunaseela Maharishi continued to offer his daily poojas to the lord from his ashram here.

However, floods in the Cauvery and dangerous animals in the forest led the disciple to leave and thus the poojas came to an abrupt end.

After several years, the Chola king Nyana Varma, who ruled this place with Uraiyur as the capital, used to visit Gunaseelam regularly.

As per the king's wishes, the Lord agreed to remain here till the end of Kali Yuga and help fulfill all the prayers of the devotees, who visit this temple.

Delighted at the darshan of Prasanna Venkatachalapathy, the king shifted from Uraiyur to Kallur, (this place was then called ‘Badra Chakra Pattinam’) near Gunaseelam and built the beautiful Gunaseelam temple and laid down the process of the daily poojas as directed by Prasanna Venkatesan.

With devotees’ contribution, the hereditary trustees have transformed the temple to reflect modern day architecture.

The central shrine of the temple houses the presiding deity Prasanna Venkatachalapathy in a standing posture.

There are stucco sculptures on the vimana depicting Narasimha on eagle vahana Garuda and an image of Vishnu with Shanka and Chakra.

[4] In addition to the complete reconstruction of the Gunaseelam temple, the trustees have also set up a mental health rehabilitation centre that has the official stamp of the Tamil Nadu Government license.
