Mythical importance

The legend here is connected with Mangalya Maharishi who was born with Uthiram Natchathara. It was under his aegis, the marriages of Agastya, Vashisht and Sage Bhairava were conducted. He is supposed to have all the powers of his penance in his palms. He is the Acharya of the Angels that bless the marriages.
