Knowing this, Lord Shiva cursed Navagrahas with the disease of Kustarogha (Leprosy).<br /> <br /> Navagrahas went to different places to worship [[Shiva]], to get rid of their Curse (Shaba). [[Lord Shani]] came to [[Nemmeli (Sirkazhi)|Nemmeli]] and worshipped Varuna Linga, and by the blessings of Sri Visalakshi sametha Sri Vishvanathar, he got complete cure over the disease. There is a holy pond near the temple where lord Sanishvara performed bath, and worshipped Shiva and attained peace. Nimmathi means peace in Tamil, and there are few sayings that Nimmathi became Nemmeli in time. There is another saying that, Nemmeli came from &quot;Nelveli&quot; i.e. land rich in rice cultivations.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> * http://nemmelisirkazhitemple.in/ (Official website)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Shiva temples in Mayiladuthurai district]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{TamilNadu-hindu-temple-stub}}</div>
