Legend[edit | edit source]
According to Hindu legend, a childless king named Vasudevan worshipped Shiva and as a result Parvathi was born to him as Rajarajeswari. It is also believed that Shiva appeared to the king in the guise of siddha at this place and worsted him in a game of chess. As a consequence, he married Rajarajeswari.
