One day a hunting couple happened to find the remnants of a temple here. The matter was informed to the head of the clan. Accordingly the nearest Brahmin family was informed of the matter. The head of the Brahmin family with the help of others cleared the place necessary for the temple and referred to the astrologers who found that a self evolved Divine Power of Siva is present here. There after the formless stone deity was replaced by the present installation of Sivalinga.
