Here is an interesting account of Periaval and Nanganallur!
Nanganallur
Mahans can feel the presence of the particular deity in the place even as they feel the ‘deiva sannidhya’. Why should there be ’sannidhya’ in a particular place? A Maharishi must have performed tapas there. Bhagavan must have given him His darshan. Thus, sannidhya is created in two ways - Maharishi’s tapas and the appearance of Bhagavan in that place. When the Mahan who feels the ’sannidhya’ does tapas there, he has visions of all that had taken place there.
Kanchi Mahaswami Sri Chandrasekarendra Saraswati Swamiji (Maha Periyava) during His wanderings in the place that is now called Pazhavanthangal (Nanganallur) lay down in the pyol of a small tile-roofed house. In those days this was a forsaken place outside the city limits. Maha Periyava predicted that innumerable temples would come up there in future as many Maharishis had, in the past, performed yagas there. Now, you do find innumerable temples here. Name the deity and there is a temple for that deity here - Guruvayurappan temple, Rajarajeswari temple, Nrisimha temple, Hayagreeva temple, Karumari Amman temple, a big Anajaneya temple where the deity is about 32′ high, Sri Ragavendra Swami Brindavan, Siva temple, Iyappan temple, Sathyanarayana temple, Venugopalaswamy temple, etc. are all found here.
There is a temple for Sita, too. This is the reason that this place is called Nangai nallur. Nangai refers to Piratti/Sita. Thus, there are Temples for various deities.
