The legend has that in Dwapara Yuga there was a King Chokkalinga
arrived on this sacred land for his favorite pastime hunting. He found a stunning lotus flower in the pond
situated here. King ordered his men to collect
the flower from the pond immediately. Unluckily,
King’s men were not succeeded at this task.
So, King Chokkalinga dived into the pond and tried all means to collect
the flower. Surprisingly, the lotus flower
started to float around him without giving him a chance to pluck. King
was disturbed at this mystifying incident, he shot an arrow aiming at the Lotus
flower. Instantaneously, the water in
the pond turned into red in color. King
was baffled at this frightening sight, moved closer to the flower and found a
Linga on it. Shortly, King Chokkalinga
built a temple to worship on its place and sanctified the Linga.
This temple remains open from 6.00AM to 10.00AM in the morning
and 5.30PM to 7.30PM in the evenings.
