During churning the milky ocean by deities and
demons at the divine instruction of Lord Vishnu, there were several precious resources
were emerged out of the ocean preceded by Halahala poison which was gracefully
accepted by Lord Shiva to protect the Universe from its destruction. Some of the precious materials appearred
were Uchaisravas, Airavatham, Kamadhenu, Kalpaka Vruksham, Kausthubam (precious
jewels), Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi, Varuni and Lord Dhanvanthari with a pot of
elixir of Immortality. The demons were insatiable
to get hold of the nectar of Immortality.
Lord Vishnu took the form of an attractive woman - Mohini and distracted
the attention of demons. Thus, this place has got its name ‘Thiru
Moghur’ to venerates the incarnation of Lord Vishnu as Mohini .
