"Ekambareswarar Temple is known as the Prithvi Sthalam. It represents the earth element. According to mythology, Goddess Parvati made a Shiva Lingam out of sand under a sacred mango tree and worshipped it here. To test her devotion, Lord Shiva sent the river to flood the area. Parvati embraced the sand lingam to protect it, and Shiva accepted her devotion and later married her."
