TIRUNELVELI

An opening in the outer wall of the prakararn just opposite the shrine was provided so as to enable the Nawab and his son to worship the Lingam, standing outside the temple.

Another legend says that when the marriage of Siva and Parvati took place in the Himalayas the northern part of the country became so overcrowded that it began to sink. The southern part began to rise up. In order to restore equilibrium, Lord Siva deputed Sage Agastya to go to the south and restore the balance. 'Me Sage came to the south as directed by the Lord, and came to Tirunelveli where he obtained darsan of Siva.
