History
King Vijayendra Nayak of Malavanadu was without a child. Mother Kayalvizhi was working for the Lord in this place. At that time Vijayendra Nayak was hunting and resting at this place on the banks of the nearby Tirukulam. Then Goddess Kayalvizhi told Vijayendra Nayak that if he worshiped Lord Shiva Anathavalli in this place, he would be blessed. It is recorded in the historical book "Tanrudam" in 1885 AD that the Maharaja performed puja for 48 days and got the mystery.
