The legend has that the hermits of Darukavanam turned out inconsiderate after gaining knowledge in spirituality. This saintly people completely disregarded the supreme entity and performed fire sacrifices to eradicate the existence of Supreme Lord. They instigated Tiger from the sacrificial fire and prompted to fight against Lord Shiva. The most compassionate Lord unperturbedly handled the Tiger and utilized its skin as his attire. In this way, the hermits of Darukavanam continued their malicious acts against Lord Shiva; they instigated Muyalakan (demon) from the fire sacrifice.  Lord Shiva elegantly tackled the demon and danced over his body.  Eventually the hermits realized their folly and surrendered to Lord Shiva

 

This temple remains open from 6.30 AM to 11.30 AM in the morning and 5.30PM to 7.30 PM in the evenings.




Jaya Jaya Sankara Hara Hara Sankara !!
