Key Aspects About the Temple: Despite pouring large quantities of oil on the Shivalinga daily for abishek, the oil is completely absorbed. This is believed to neutralize the poisonous effect on His neck (Neelakanda) when he devoured Halahala poison during the churning of the Amudha ocean.
Local history mentions this site as praised in hymns as Kallinodu Aman Kaiyar by Appar Swamigal in Thevaram. When the Jain-backed king tried to harm Appar by tying him with a stone, the Shivalinga protected him, floating him safely to shore.
Holy soil, Dakshayini joined the Lord after returning from Daksha Yaga. Worshipped by LORD BRAHMA, KAMADENU, DEVAKANDA, and SURPANAMA for divine purposes.
