TEMPLE HISTORY (STHALA VARALARU) :-
The priest of this temple was an ardent devotee of Shiva, and soon after his marriage, decided to visit Kasi. Leaving his young and beautiful wife behind, he proceeded north Towards Kasi. Completing all the rites and rituals required, he returned after a few years. Meanwhile, his wife fell sick, and her sister arrived to nurse her.
When the priest returned home, he saw the two women in the house - one sick and covered with rashes, looking rather ugly, and the other as a beautiful girl, resembling his wife. He immediately assumed that the beautiful one was his wife, and proceeded to the river to bath ,came back and claimed the beautiful woman is his wife. His real wife who turned ugly due to her illness prayed to Lord Shiva.

Lord Shiva came to the rescue of the real wife and hastened to correct the error. He appeared in front of the priest with Parvati, informed him about his wife's illness, and explained that the beautiful one was his sister-in-law, not his wife. Since the lord acted as a witness, he is named Sakshi Nathar, and the goddess - Soundarya Nayaki. Behind the lingam in the sanctum is a panel with human form Shiva and Parvati on the Rishabha Vahanam, the form in which they gave darshan to the priest.
