The legend has that there was a farmer lived in this
village. He and his chaste wife were passionate
devotees of Lord Shiva. They had the practice
to serve food to a devotee of Lord on daily basis and after that they consume
any meal. One day, there was no devotee
turned on their door to accept the meal.
The couple waited for hours and worriedly left to their farm field searching
for a devotee of Lord; unfortunately they did not find a single devotee to feed
on that day. At once, there appeared a farmer
before the couple and requested for food.
They were extremely happy and asked him to wait for some time so that
they could bring the meals. They began
to hurry home, but the farmer revealed his intention not to accept meal without
doing any work for them. The couple put
a halt to their rush and assigned him with the task to plough the field and sow
seeds. The farmer happily agreed and got
into his work instantaneously. Shortly,
the couple returned back to their farm field with great joy. They were stunned to see that the field was full
of grown crops ready for the cultivation.
They were in an utter shock requested the farmer to be seated under the
Kondrai tree and served him with food at their heart content. The couple earnestly requested him to explain
about the miracle happened. The farmer
revealed his real form to the couple.
The couple was jubilant prayed to Lord to remain on this sacred land
forever. The most compassionate Lord
agreed and resided in the form of Linga on this sacred land.
