Significance
Devotees believe the large Nandi in front of the temple has grown over the years, to the point that a pillar was removed. Nearby caves include the Agastya cave, reached by about 120 steps, and the Venkateswara cave with the damaged idol. Bathing in the Pushkarini fed by a perennial spring precedes worship. Maha Shivaratri (February-March) is the main festival.
History
Legend says the sage Agastya intended to build a Venkateswara temple here, but the idol was found damaged, so on Shiva's advice the site became a Shiva shrine. The present temple is attributed to the Sangama kings of the Vijayanagara empire in the 15th century. Another legend tells of the devotee Chitteppa, who saw Shiva in the form of a tiger.
