Temple Specialty

Historical: He fell asleep in Kanakam without missing the consecration of the one thousand and eight lingam. Then an Asariri was heard. Bhagiratha consecrated the 1,800th lingam in Purasaipakka full of Purasa trees and said that your cloudiness will disappear there. Bhagiratha woke up with a start and realized that the sound of the Asariri was the order of the Lord. He came to the throat region. Purasa reached a forest full of trees. On an auspicious day, Lord Gangatheeswarar consecrated the lingam on an auspicious day when Bhagiratha was happy that this was the place where his disease would be removed and the curse disappeared. Lord Gangatheeswarar appeared in the bull chariot and removed the curse of Bhagiratha and made the cloud disease disappear.
