The
legend has that while River Cauvery was gracefully flowing through these lands,
there appeared Adishesha with its thousand heads plunged into the river created
a Biladhwaram/perforate. Due to the sudden shove of
Adishesha with its massive body, River Cauvery descended down to the burrow and got stuck in to the hole without any free flow. The Chozha King who was ruled this city was
witnessing this incident, shocked at this sight. Soon he could listen to a mysterious voice
declared that the Biladhwaram would disappear when a sage get into this hole
and wholeheartedly sacrifice his life. The King met with the sages who were
undergoing severe austerities in the woodlands and narrated the divine voice he
had listened. The sages were agreed to
sacrifice their life for bringing out the River Cauvery once again. Shortly, River Cauvery appeared from the
Biladhawaram and started flowing as generously as ever.
