Thiruvanmiyur Marundeeswarar History
As per the folklore, Indra sent Kamadhenu to support Sage Vasishta Tapas. While perforrming the Pooja, there was a delay by Kamadhenu in giving the milk. Angered Sage, cursed the divine to become as an ordinary cow. On Kamadhenu’s request, the sage suggested the divine cow to the Lord Shiva here. The divine cow worshipped Lord Shiva and got back its divinity.
It is said that Kamadhenu ran in fear on seeing Sage Valmiki pressing its feet on Lord Shiva. The impression is still visible on the Shiva Linga.
