Religious Significance

The legend is that Agasthya Muni on his way to Kaveri River for offering his customary ablutions was once confronted by two demons namely Neelan and Swethan. The Muni cursed them, On request for penance they were advised to perform Tapas at two Siva Temples. They were later known as Neelarshi and Swetharshi. The places where Neelarshi and Swetharshi performed their Tapas came to be known as Neeleswaram and Swetharanyapuram respectively. The latter was a dense forest at that time. The present name Thiruvangad must have been derived in this connection. It is said that Swetharshi consecrated a Vishnu temple also(dedicated to Sree Rama) at the site where he performed his Tapas. A part of the temple was damaged by Tipu Sultan's troops in the 18th century but the temple itself is believed to have been saved from destruction.
