Legend / Local stories

Sage Agasthiyar travelled to South India to visit ancient Shiva temples. One day it was raining heavily. He crossed Kusasthalai River and supposedly reached this place. But, due to the heavy storm he stayed under a tree. He was waiting there for long time. Under heavy lightening, Sage Agasthiyar saw an old boy standing along with a small dog nearby, so he tried to reach that boy but he ran fastly. The Boy stopped at a big Vilva Tree. Following the boy, Sage Agasthya surprised to see a Shiva Lingam under that Vilva Tree.

Sage Agasthya performed Shiva Pooja to that Linga and he was surprised to know that was a Pradosham day. When he was not in a state to recognize himself where he is, he heard a laughing sound of a small boy. Suddenly he saw back, the same small boy with his dog was near to him. Sage identified him as Bairavar and he only guided him for his Shiva Pooja. Sage Agasthya consecrated Vatuka Bhairava in this place and worshipped him. Also, Manikkavacakar is believed to have visited and worshiped here.
