the flood water in all three Yugas. In
Dwapara Yuga also the same scenario repeated, the King who was ruling this
city was a passionate devotee of Lord Shiva.
He earnestly prayed to Lord to save this land from the deluge. Lord Shiva was pleased at the devotion of the
King; he plunged the Earth with his Trident and created an opening. Therefore, all the flood water drained through
this hole and the land was protected. Thus,
this sacred land has got its name ‘Thiru Chuzhial’.
Another legend has that Goddess Boodevi
worshipped Lord Shiva on this sacred land.
Thus, the presiding deity has got his name ‘Boominathar’.
