Long ago it was found that one cow used to pour its milk over an anthill regularly in the forest. There people found a self manifested li~Ngam. From that time the worship of the Lord is supposed to have started in this temple. The impression of the cows feet and its horn could be found on the shiva li~Ngam. karikARchOzan worshiped here to get rid of the sin of murder here. kulachEkaran got cured of the lepracy and muchukun^dhan got removed the darkness in his face praying the Lord here
