The legend has that Adishesha spew out poisonous
venom on the demons Madhu and Kaitaba without prior instructions from Lord
Vishnu. Though he was successful in his
attempt to fight against the demons and protect Sri Devi & Boodevi, he felt
guilty of his act without obtaining permission from Lord. He worshipped Lord Sathyagirishwara on this
sacred land for forgiveness.
Dharma Devatha worshipped Lord Sathyagirinathar
to put an end to the atrocities of the demons on Earth.
This temple remains open from 6.00AM to 11.00AM
