Agasthya was sent to the south to balance the weight of the earth during Shiva Parvathi wedding in Kailash. During his journey he installed and worshipped many Shiva lingas on the way. This Linga was also worshipped by Agasthya. he stayed here and wanted to perform Pooja and Abhishekam to Lord Shiva. There was no water body anywhere near the temple. He prayed to Lord Shiva in the form a song. He sang in the Raaga Amirtha Varshini (this Raaga is meant to bring rain) in the praise of Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva was attracted by the song and he appeared before Agasthya along with Parvathi in the wedding form and he created a tank on his own as Agasthya wished. People who bath in this tank are relieved from all types of problems and diseases.

  1. மிகவும் அருமை. நேரில் சென்று தரிசித்த அனுபவம் கிடைத்தது என்பதில் மிகையில்லை.முருகன் கோயிலுக்கு சென்றுள்ளேன். அருகில் உள்ள இத்தலத்தை தரிசிக்க முடியாமல் போனது. அடுத்த முறை காண வேண்டும். தொடரட்டும் இந்த ஆன்மீகப்பணி. வாழ்த்துக்கள்.
