While Dakshan was conducting yajna, Parvathi and Muruga came here. After Parvati left this place, Muruga halted here. Very near to this place, Karuppariyalur is found. In Karuppariyalur, Daksha was killed by Lord Shiva. It is said that Virabhadra went through this place. The darshan of this temple is incomplete without going and worshipping the presiding deity and Parvati. Having Mount Meru as bow Lord Shiva destroyed the asura. In the hymns of Appar so many pallis are found such as Chirappalli, Sivappalli, Sembonpalli, Nanipalli, Thavapalli, Parappalli and Kolliaraippalli. Appar says whoever utter the names of these temples would reach the feet of the Lord Shiva.
