 Greatness Of Temple:
     
  When the king of this region came to the temple, his minister demanded that the arati offered to Lord Bhairava and other prasads as kumkum, sandal and the sacred ash should be offered first to the king and to the public then only.  When the king came out of the temple after worship, his eyes and the forehead with the sandal began to show burn wounds causing leprosy.  The shocked king came back to Bhairava shrine and sought the pardon for demanding priority in getting Prasad.  Lord Bhairava mercifully pardoned and cured his disease.  This is the story behind the non-offering of prasads to devotees in the temple, it is said.
Lord Kala Bhairava graces from a separate shrine.  A yajna is conducted in the shrine on Ashtami day in the new moon fortnight if any devotee or devotees contribute for the same.  The Vada for the garland is prepared in cow ghee.  The fee for this is Rs. 300/=.  Lord Bhairava comes in procession during the Champaka Sura Sashti festival all the six days.  The events of Lord killing demons Padmasuran and Mallasuran are played during this festival.  As Lord Bhairava occupies more importance, the temple is popularly known as Bhairava Temple.
 
     
  Temple History:
     
  After Lord Sri Rama’s return to Ayodhya from Lanka with Mother Sita, the sages with Him also returned to their respective places.  Sage Durvasa, passing through this way, found a Linga and worshipped.  The Linga got buried in days that followed.  A milk vendor passing through this route fell usually at a particular place hit by the root of a tree.  When he cut the root to make safe way, it began to bleed.  He found a Shivalinga.  The temple was built here then.
