History of Anantha Padmanabhaswamy Temple, Thiruvananthapuram:

As per beliefs, the temple was established about 5000 years ago. As per the palm leaf records at the temple, a sage named Divakara Muni Vilwamangalam founded it. The sage performed rituals at Anantha Padmanabhaswamy Temple Kasaragod, well known as Ananthapura Lake Temple. And that temple is believed to be the moolasthanam of Sri Anantha Padmanabhaswamy.

As per Puranas, Lord Vishnu appeared before sage Vilwamangalamin the form of an orphan kid. The sage allowed him to stay at the temple. He took the help of that kid in the daily activities of the temple. Once Vilwamangalam acted harshly on the kid and the kid ran away to the forest. But, Vilwamangalam soon realizes that the boy was Lord Vishnu himself. So, he searched for him and followed him inside a cave, which led to the present-day Thiruvananthapuram. The boy turned into a mahua tree and the tree fell down and took the shape of Lord Vishnu lying on the AdiShesha.

The size of Lord Vishnu in Ananthasayana posture extended up to 8 miles, and sage Vilwamangalam requested Lord Vishnu to condense to a smaller size. Lord shrank to a small size but the sage couldn’t see him completely. He could see Lord Anantha in three parts – the face, the stomach area, and the feet. The Sri Padmanabhaswamy temple doors in Thiruvananthapuram show the idol in the same way as the sage saw the lord.
