TIRUNELVELI

The third legend is that Sri Rama came to this place and worshipped Nellaiappar when he came to the south in search of Sita.

There is yet another legend. Once Lord Siva took the form of a Lingam, came to Tirunelveli and took his abode here, with all the four Vedas standing around him as bamboo trees and providing him shade. So this Sthala is also known as Venu Vanarn (Venu means bamboo tree and Vanam means forest).
