Temple History: Among the Triumvarate of Chera, Chola and Pandiya, the Cholas ruled with Woraiyur (Trichy) as the capital. As a Chola king was going around the city on an elephant. The elephant went uncontrollable all of a sudden. The mahout was in a shock. Just then a cock squeaked and flew over to the head of the elephant and jabbed with its beak. The elephant was restored to order. The cock burrowed with its claws of a leg at a place and a Shivalinga was found there. The Chola king built a temple for the Linga.
