The legend has that there was a
practice to deliver vessels of milk to the palace of the King ruled this city
of Mutthapuram through this sacred land.
Strangely every time the vessels
contained milk were fallen down at a particular spot, hence it was impossible
to deliver milk at the destination. This
mysterious incident was repeated for quite some time, eventually it was
reported to the King, an excavation process was carried out by the King’s men
and eventually a Linga was found deep inside the Earth. Shortly, a magnificent place for worship was
erected in its place.
This temple remains open from

Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
