TEMPLE HISTORY (STHALA VARALARU) :- A contest arose between Lord Brahmma and Vishnu to establish their superiority over otheSr. It was agreed that the one finding first the feet and/or head of Lord Shiva would be winner. Brahmma rode on his Swan vaahana towards the head of the Lord Shiva but could not. Incidentally, the Thazhampoo (a flower) was fall from the head of Lord Shiva. Lord Brahmma asked the flower to say that he found and worshipped the head of Shiva. The flower too agreed to the false deal. Lord Shiva condemned the false deal of both and disqualified Thazhampoo for use in Poojas and that there would be no temple on Earth for Brahmma.

Lord Vishnu took the form of a swine, dug the earth to reach the feet of Shiva but failed. Lord Vishnu honestly admitted his defeat. Thus, the place was named Hari - Vishnu, Dwara-making pit, Mangalam-auspicious place – Haridwaramangalam. This incident happened on the 14th day of the waning moon period or Chaturdasi of Krishnapaksham in the Tamil month of Panguni or Phalgun month. This day is celebrated as Mahasivarathri.
