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.
