TEMPLE HISTORY
Good natured Kumanan was the chieftain
of the region then called Mudhiramalai in the Palani hill range. Mudhiram was his capital. He also belongs to the group of the
third seven vallals known for their charitable characters. The region between Palani and
Udumalpet was known Kumana Mangalam in those days. The region was very fertile by the
flow of Amaravathi river and the just ruling of Kumanan.
Kumanan took on a pilgrimage to Kasi –
now Varanasi – along with those willing to accompany him. On his return from the Kasi
pilgrimage, some questions arose in his mind. He thought that who will help the
people for Kasi Yatra. Would
his heirs do it as he did. He
consulted with his ministers and decided to bring a Shivalinga from Kasi and
build a temple and ordered to identify the land for the temple. This place suited as it had a river
and also a cremation ground. It
took one year to bring the Shivalinga in a cart from Kasi to this place. The construction of the temple was
also completed then with due places for other deities. The Shivalinga Kasi Viswanathar and
Mother Kasi Visalakshi were installed on an auspicious day followed by a grand
consecration.
The place was then called Kumana
Lingam combining the names of Kumana and the Kasi Linga but n the days that
followed it changed as Komaralingam.
