Temple History
Mother Parasakthi chose this place for Her penance on Lord
Shiva. Devas came here in the form of trees and plants to make the
environment green and beautiful.
Divine Cow Kamadenu deputed Her daughter Patti to help Mother in her Shiva Puja and penance. Pleased with Mother’s penance, Lord Shiva appeared there with His hair bunch – Sadai Mudi and thus assumed the name Kabartheeswarar.
Knowing the sacredness of the place and observing the Shiva puja by Mother Parasakthi-Parvathi, Patti too made a Shivalinga of sand and performed penance here as per rules. It took water from the sacred Gnanavavi theertha for abishek. All merciful Lord Shiva approved Patti’s sand Linga and merged in the same and made it all sacred. As the Patti calf worshipped here, the place is called Patteeswaram and Lord Patteeswarar – Thenupureeswarar in Sanskrit.
