Temple History : An Asura called Tharugasura tormented the Devas and the sages because of the boons granted on him. Once he defeated Indra of the world above. Indra approached Brahma. Brahma told him to worship Manikoodapura Peruman of South Kailash; A son of Shiva would appear and he would kill Tharugasuran according to Brahma. The Devas and Indra started their prayer. To prevent the asura from identifing them, they took the form of ants and worshipped the Lord Shiva. They used ‘Karuneithal’ flower for worship. As ants carried the flowers using the sticky oil on them, it was difficult for them to climb steps. The Lord turned himself into an ant hill. He bent his head to make the ants climb without sliding down. In the same way he had bent his head for Shivasaruman at Virinchipuram Temple and for Thadagai at Thiruppananthal.
