Legends
Sri
Patanjali Maharishi intends to set up Bana Linga in Chidambaram temple, so he
took Bana Linga from Kashi and was travelling towards Chidambaram Temple. While
on the way he stayed at the southern bank of Palar River to take rest. During
that time Adiseshan and other Snakes worshipped the Bana Linga and requested
Patanjali Maharishi to consecrate the Lingam in this place. Adisesan also
requested sage to name Lingam as Anantheeswarar as Anandhan was the name of the
sage in his previous birth.
