HISTORY
It was learnt that the Neyveli Shiva Temple is being worshiped by Siddhars in sukshma roopam. The incidents happened are proof for the same. Many Miracles also happened through Lord Agneeswara Swamy of this temple. As per history, only the Shiva Linga’s head was visible, through Kallala tree trunk. When excavated there was no damage and the Lingam was found intact with shining. Kumbabishekam was conducted recently and we went for the mandala pooja. The new temple was constructed in front of original Shiva Lingam.
LEGENDS
The Sthala Viruksha is a real Kallala Tree and it is believed that the tree is more than 5000 years old. Also it is believed that Yakshinis are living in the tree hence the tree itself treated as sacred. There are some Laterite stones seen in between the roots of the tree. These stones might have been used for the original temple. It is believed that a siddhar in the form of snake lives in the tree and one or two people had the darshan.
Sthala Vruksha Kallala Tree
It is believed that Siddhars takes water from the Temple tank agni Theertham and do pooja to Shiva of this temple. The one of the Pancha Bhootham AGNI worshipped Shri Shiva of this temple. Hence Shiva is called as Agneeswarar.
