Daksha, father of Mother Parvathi organized a yajna and failed to invite Lord Shiva his father-in-law intentionally.  When Mother Parvathi questioned his arrogance, he humiliated his own daughter also.  Lord Shiva sent Veerabadra to destroy the Yagna and also drove the Devas invited by Daksha to receive Havirbaga-the benefit of yajna.  Remembering this event, a temple was built here with a Veerabadra idol with 32 hands. 

Lord Veerabadra is prayed to for relief by those who are worried about the well-being of children and are dealing with the negative effects of snake planets.
