Ramanuja built new mandapas outside the sanctum and renovated and consecrated the temple. At the end of the Dwapara Yuga, in the Sura Sura war, Indra was afflicted with Brahmma Hathi Dosham. To liberate himself from this, he undertook penance and invoked the blessings for Lord Vishnu. He was directed to install 5 Narayana Idols in this region to liberate himself from his dosham.

Inscriptions refer to Veera Narasimha, the Hoysala ruler leading his kingdom with Dorasamudram as his capital and granting 64 gadayaanas to the people of Thondanur Agrahara for undertaking any repairs to the temple. The great Vaishnava Seer Ramanujacharya sought asylum in Thonnur at the residence of one of his disciples Thondanur Nambi, who received Ramanuja with all respects. The Jain ruler Bittideva’s daughter was possessed of ghost and none could cure her from the troubling ghost. Then Thondanur Nambi visited the palace and told the king that Ramanuja would drive out the ghost and Ramanuja succeeded in relieving the daughter from the evil spirit. The Hoysala dynasty king Bittideva, was attracted by Ramanujacharya's teachings and embraced Vaishnavism to become his follower. Ramanuja renamed the king as ‘Vishnuvardhana’. Because of Ramanuja’s stay, Thonnur virtually became the second capital of Hoysalas in those days.
