Guest guest Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 splendorous beauty. Sthapathis from various parts of India played a role in the renovation process, revealing their skills, adding to the sculptural glory of the temple. The lord here is called Somanathar and Someshwar. This Siva Lingam that was formed spontaneously is one among the 12 Jothirlingams. The tank, where Chandra Bhagavan took his holy dips during penance is called Somagundam. Chandra Devan worshipped Siva at this spot to rid himself of the curse of Daksha. The story : Chandra Devan is considered to have built this temple & hence the name Somanathar to the Lord. Chandran fell in love with Rohini, one of the daughters of Dakshan. But Dakshan wanted to give all his daughters in marraige to one able & loving person, who would treat all his daughters equally. Chandran got married to all, but his love for Rohini was too great & the other daughters complained to their father. Dakshan cursed Chandran to dwindle in power & beauty.
