Greatness Of Temple: | |
| |
|
|
| |
This is the holy soil where the Pandavas stayed for a while after losing all their wealth, kingdom and dignity in the court of king Dridharashtra. They had to lead a life of exile. Not losing their faith in Almighty, they worshipped Lord Shiva – in the Dharmeswarar temple – near this temple. As Arjuna stayed here for some time, the place was named Arjuna Mangalam and changed as Achutha Mangalam as now known. |

Temple History: | |
| |
|
|
| |
As we learn from our scriptures, every one righteous in nature and practised honesty, probity and integrity in their lives, paid a high price for these values. King Harichandra was one. He refused to speak falsehood and stood firm on his commitment to speak only truth – Sathya. He lost his kingdom, wife and son and began wandering. He landed in this place dense with Iluppai trees then. He stayed here for a while. He found a Shivalinga in the place. His joy knew no bounds. He performed abishek to Lord and offered Vilwa leaves archanas. When in deep meditation, he felt that this Shivalinga was of great grace and powers.
His inner mind told Harischandra that the Linga ought to have been brought from Kasi bathed in the Holy Ganga. He knew that any one worshipping Kasi Viswanatha Linga would be relieved of the sins of past birth and summed up his courage to reap the results of his honest life. He felt auspicious vibrations in the place. This is that famous place – Achutha Mangalam.
