The eldest of the Pandavas Yudhishtra (Dharumar) lost all his wealth when he played the gambling game with Saguni the uncle of Duryodhana. He became a pauper. He came to this temple and obtained the blessings of Lord Shiva here. He felt that he was assured of getting back all his wealth fame and kingdoms after worshipping the lord. Lord Shiva appeared with his consort Parvathi and told him that Daruma wins (truth wins) and he obtained the name Dharumar here.
