Architecture

Shiva took on a new form Mylara (Shiva) and taking with him his forces of seven crores goravas, warred with Mallasura and his brother Manikasura for 10 days. So, Temple got this name. Lord Shiva in standing posture, the statue is located in a small window-less shrine room located at the very heart of the temple. Worshipers consider that energy flows out in all directions from the garbhagriha and this is reflected. Pillars of the temple are build with sand stone and has granite marble flooring.

Religious Significance

A demon and his brother performed penitence and with the blessing of Brahma, obtained the blessing that none in human beings can harm them. With the blessing, they emerged stronger and started to harm the sages and the common people. The Sages prayed to Lord Shiva. The sage’s prayers were answered and Lord Shiva took a new form of Mailara and along with seven crores, goravas took up a war against the Mallasura and Manikasura his brother. The war went on for 10 days with the bow Lord Shiva slew them. In the battle Lord Veerabhadra who was Lord Shiva’s aide in the war with his long hair struck the earth and Kancheevaras emerged from the earth. Kancheevaras challenged the demon Mallasura and gave them to Mailara. Mailara killed the demons and saved the sages. After killing them, Mailra wore the intestines of the demons on his head like a turban, their teeth as a necklace, skulls as meal bowl, mouth as the hand drums and their skin as a long coat. Even their fat was used as oil and nerves as lamp wick.
