This has a long
legend and takes us to the time of Agasthya's penance here. The great sage,
drawn by the sequestered sublimity of this region chose it for penance during
his southern trip. After completing it satisfactorily, he decided to move
further southwards.
Realising the sanctity and sublimity hovering over these two
hills, he then bade his mighty demon assistant to carry them popularly known as
Sivagiri and Saktigiri tying them on to a Kavidi. He obeyed. While on the
move, the Saktigiri was seen going up into the air and so placed some heavy
stones to equalise the weight, yet it was floating in the air. Stopping, he
closely observed the Sivagiri hill to know its might.
