Temple History:
The history of the temple is simply identical with that of the Sri Achala Deepeswarar Temple of this place, based on the Mango story that hurt Lord Muruga deciding to leave parents Lord Shiva and Mother Parvathi and Mount Kailash and the divine parents following Him. Lord Muruga stopped here when called by Mother addressing him ‘Mahane’ meaning, Oh! My son. Lord Muruga stopped for a while. Based on this history, a temple was built for Him.
