Mythical importance
editIt was a myth that long long ago, Sage Bruhu was in deep meditation. Suddenly, the tranquility was shattered with loud noises of a Chollha king who was hunting a lion. Disturbed by this, the sage cursed the king to bear a lion's face. Regretting the intrusion, the king sought for a remedy. The sage advised him to take bath in the river Vettraru (also known as Vruddha Cauvery) and to pray Vishnu at this place for his goodness. The king did so and it worked to regain his human features. After that this place got importance.[2]
