Puranic Significance

Tarakasuran, a devotee of Lord Shiva, blessed Lord Shiva and asked him to come and join you. After receiving the Atmalingam, Tarakasuran persecuted the gods in arrogance and became more and more wicked by sacrificing sacrifices Barandaman told them that Arumugan, who was born to Shiva and Goddess Parvati, would separate the Atmalingam from the Tarakasura and bless it. Sri Arumugam fought with Tarakasura and worshiped Eesan and scattered the Atmalingam to cast his power. Tarakasuran was also destroyed. The scattered Atmalingam broke into five parts and fell on five levels. The place where a piece of it fell is dedicated by Srisomeswar who was consecrated by Bhimavaram Srichandran Bhagavan.
