once an Asura called Bana. He troubled the gods very much. So they complained to God Siva.
Siva created a young and lovely girl-god to fight him. Bana wanted to marry that girl. The goddess refused. A long-drawn-out fight started between them. In the end the young goddess slew him. This young goddess did tapas after wards at this lovely spot to marry Siva. Siva was pleased with her tapas.Heagreed to marry her. He came to the nearby village called Suchindram, but he stopped there. The goddess had made all preparations for the marriage. The time of the marriage, too, had arrived. Everything was ready. Yet the bridegroom did not appear.The god- dess became angry. She cursed ‘the food and other preparations. And they all turned into sand. She herself became a statue! |
