Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva and a visit to this temple is said to be
equivalent to performing penance with 1000 Rudrakshas. Of the 12 Theerthams,

Nandi Theertham:
The Nandi once undertook penance
on the Earth. Pleased, Siva appeared before him and told him to ask for a boon.
The Nandi desired that the place and the tank be named after him and asked that
those taking a dip in the tank and worshipping Vedagiriswarar be absolved of their
sins. His prayer was granted and hence the place is also known as Nandipuram
and the tank, Nandi Theertham.
