History of this Temple

The Azhimala Shiva temple predates the Shiva idol itself. This place has a mythological connection. It is believed that this was the place where the Pandavas spent some time during their exile. According to local people or historians, once when Draupadi felt thirsty, there was only salty sea water around. Bhimsen immediately made a hollow in a rock with his elbow, and a spring of sweet water gushed out, helping Draupadi to quench her thirst.

Azhimala Shiva Temple is so named because it is situated between the sea and huge rocks. It is believed that its original name was Azhimala Pulinkudi Sri Mahadeva Temple. The area was known as Pulinakudi in ancient times due to the presence of tigers in the vicinity.
