Legends
As per
the legends, once there was war between a Chola King and Pandyan King. In order
to win Pandyan King, Chola King planned to gift him a poisoned Cloth. But Lord
Shiva appeared in Pandyan King and informed about the evil intentions of Chola
King. Next Day, servant of the chola king came with poisoned cloth and gave it
to him but Pandyan king cleverly threw it to the servant. Because of the
poisonous nature of the cloth, servant got burnt to ashes and chola king lost
the eyesight.
Chola
King realizing his mistake sought pardon for his act to Lord Shiva. He got his
one eyesight back at Devadhanam. Lord Shiva appeared in Chola King’s dream and
informed that if he built a temple for him at Seithur he will get back other
eyesight. Obliging Lord Wish, he built a temple and prayed to him. Lord gave
his eyesight back. Hence Lord in this place is called as Thirukaneswarar.
