History
A few hundred years back, this whole area was a forest. A few formers while digging this area with an iron bar, found blood coming out from earth. Digging little further carefully, they figured out this white sivalingam in ground. The terrified formers immediately reported this to the then king of mogalturu. The king ordered his servants to dig down till the root of the lingam is found so that it an be taken out and installed. As they failed in that effort, king realized the mahatyam of the lord, constructed a temple and made arrangements for regular pooja.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
“Humankind has understood history as a series of battles because, to this day, it regards conflict as the central facet of life.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
