Puranic Significance
Sambavar Murthy has risen along the river in the form of Shivalinga. Sage Agasthiya visited many holy places for Shiva Worship. He performed Abisheks and Pujas to Lord Shiva in this place. It is said that it was in this cave that Sage Agasthiya had darshan and Agathiyar still lives here in a mysterious way. Agathiyar says that worshiping Sambhavar Murthy will remove evil deeds. On the right side of the Sambhavar idol is Ganesha, on the left is the golden Siddhar, Anjaneyar and opposite is Jambavan. Sambavamoorthy is located on the north bank of the river Hanuman.
