Puranic Significance

Amritam emerged when the milky way passed. Amritam is a medicine that removes gait, screen, body, aging, saccade etc. The gods and demons competed to eat that nectar. If the monsters have bitterness they will not have destruction. So Mahavishnu decided to give the bitterness only to the gods. But only one Asuran in the form of a deity stood between the sun and the moon and bought Devamirta. Knowing this, the sun and the moon pointed to Mahavishnu, who was exchanging Devamirta, and he struck the monster with the spoon in his hand. At the speed at which he struck, the monster’s neck was severed and his head fell into a current ravine called Sirpuram, and his body into another place. The body parts of the monster turned into two snakes because of Devamirtham. Lord Parvati Samedarai awoke in a chariot to meditate on Lord Shiva and eat only air. Moreover, it is revered as the site of Adiketu.
