As per the local folklore, there was a Sivan temple and seven ponds on top of the hill. The main ponds are Theppa Kulam (Thamarai Kulam) and Green (Pachai) Kulam, Surya Kulam (Pond) and Yanai (Elephant) Kulam. Kulam means Pond. The Mughal rulers demolished the temple and threw everything in the pond. Much later that is around 200 years back, this Murugan (Kartik) temple was built during the British period.

One devotee from “Kulalar” community who was not blessed with a child for many years, under took pilgrimage to many holy shrines, and at last he later visited Lord Muruga of Kailasagiri Hill, he totally surrendered himself at the feet of the Lord Muruga. Later Lord Muruga blessed him with a child. Once a labour from Pernambut who was dumb and paralytically attacked, visited this temple, and he was blessed with complete recovery.
