History
Parvati is believed to have made a linga from Kaveri water here. A spring under the linga keeps water seeping in the sanctum. Built by the early Chola king Kochenga Chola about 1,800 years ago, it is praised in the Tevaram hymns. At noon the priest dresses as a woman to perform puja, recalling Parvati's worship.
