Religious Significance
Legend says that Sati Devi (Parvathy) married Lord Shiva against the wish of his father Daksha Prajapathi. When Daksha conducted yagna he invited all but left Lord Shiva and Sati. But even then Sati attended the yagna conducted by her father but was not paid any attention with her parents nor her siblings instead was abused and cursed which she couldn't tolerate against her husband and got self-immolated in the fire. After this incident Shiva gets arrogant and does tandava nrithya to destroy the world in anger and throws one Jata (a single thread of hair) on the floor from where this Veerabhadra Swamy originated. Being angry Veerabhadra chanting 'Har Har Mahadev' went and killed the Daksha by cutting his head from the body. Suddenly all the dieties started asking help of Shiva not to stop the yagna and complete it for the sake of Universe. At that time Shiva joined one Goat's face to Daksha's body and made this yagna completed. Soon after this incident Lord Shiva became calm but Veerabhadra was still in his fierce form and to make him calm Goddess Mahashakthi sended one of her 16 forms known as 'Bhadrakali' to Veerabhadra. When Veerabhadra met her he got calm and then it was the time to tie the knot between them. In presence of all the God they both got married and came to known as Kuravi Bhadrakali Sametha Veerabhadra Swamy Temple.
