Please suggest me with the POSTGIS/pgrouting function to identify the nearest
point from set of points (vertices in a graph) to a particular point

You typically want to search within some radius so you do not have to do
a full table scan.
select * from vertices_tmp where st_expand(setsrid(makepoint(x,y),4326))
&& the_geom order by distance(setsrid(makepoint(x,y),4326),the_geom) asc
limit 1;
Should do what you want.
