Legend
Sri Maha-vishnu when he was incarnate as Thiri-Vikrama one of his three feet entered in
Satyalogam.Brahma saw the lords foot in satyalogam. He washed the foot and worshipped
Sri Vishnu. At that time a drop of water fell form the lords golden anklets on the earth in this place.
It became a river and it is called Noopura-Ganga or Silambaru ( in tamil language Silambu
means anklets and Aaru is river).
Once Eman incarnated as Vrushaba (Bull) and did penance here. Hence this hill is called Vrushaba-giri.
Also Dharmadeva did penance for long years and he had the dharshan of Lord Sri Sundara-Rajan
(Maha-Vishnu)
Dharmadeva was very happy and requested the lord to stay for ever in this place.
The Lord agreed to the request. Dharmadeva was very glad and ordered Viswakarma
to build a beautiful temple here. The devas' builder built a temple with a magnificent Vimanam on this
hill station. So this is called Azhagar Malai.
