Legends
A king ruling this region had an administrative problem which he could not solve despite all efforts. A great yogi came to his place. The king explained his problem. The yogi told him that there was a defect in the construction of his palace and advised to worship Lord Shiva. The king installed a Linga and worshipped and named the Linga Boologanathar. He found a solution then. A shrine was later built for Mother too and was named Jegadambikai.
