TEMPLE HISTORY (STHALA VARALARU) : No Exact Information aval.
ANGAPRADAKSHINA ??
Daughter of hills was afraid When Lord fleeced the skin of elephant, and Because of her Lord moves to Shivapuram.
ANGAPRADAKSHINA ??
It is believed that a there is a Lord shivalingam under the earth in this place. Following this belief, Saint Thirugnanasambandar, while cognizant of this, out of respect refused to set his foot in the temple premises, but circumambulated the temple through the ritual angapradakshinam.
