Mother Parvathi performed penance here to be born as daughter of sage Katyayana and to have the hand of the hand of Lord in wedding. Lord appeared before Mother Parvathi and married Her in Tiruvezhi Mizhalai. Hence, this place is considered as an ideal place of worship for removal of obstacles in marriage matters. Those suffering from blood pressure and heat related ailments bathe in the theertha in the temple and offer a preparation made of wheat as nivedhana. Those facing delays in their building works, bring seven bricks to the temple so that the construction goes without delay. Of the Panchamurthis in the temple, the Somaskanda Murthi looks very beautiful.

Temple History: | |
| |
|
|
| |
Daksha while performing a yajna, intentionally avoided Lord Shiva and invited others to participate in the yajna. Agni is one among those attended the yajna. For attending a yajna to humiliate Lord Shiva, Agni was punished by Badrakali and Veerabadra and had to bear their curse. Agni could not attend any yajna then with his curse. This resulted in the failure of monsoon creating drought. Agni came to this place, worshipped Lord Shiva and got relieved of his curse. As Agni worshipped here, Lord is praised as Agnipureeswarar and the sacred spring Agni Theertham.
