CHENGANNUR - BHAGAWATI TEMPLE

The wedding of Parvathi and Parameswar is the principal cause of Agasthya's advent to Sonadri, an integral part of Sahyadri range of mountains. Lord Parameswar felt elated at the sight of the entire Devaganas - Mukkotidevatas at Kailas visited in response to the imitation on his wedding day, but found to his dismay, the southern part of earth was rising and slowly tilting towards the North due to the weight of such huge congregation at one time. 

And sure the South would be lifted aloft resulting in a great catastrophe soon. To avoid that disaster, he solicited the celebrated sage Agasthya to go to South and stay there for maintaining the equilibrium of the raising earth; for, he knew Agasthya's soul force and that could alone accomplish anything. Finding Agasthya's discontent at missing the auspicious celestial wedding, he promised to meet him with his consort in his hermitage itself after the marriage, besides bestowing the gift of divine sight to see everything from his own scat itself.
