The temple's legend is tied to the epic Ramayana. During her exile, a pregnant Sita lived in Sage Valmiki's ashram, which once stood here. She gave birth to her sons, Lava and Kusa, in this very location. Later, the boys famously captured the sacrificial horse of Rama's Aswamedha Yagna. After a battle and subsequent reunion, Valmiki advised them to worship Shiva to atone for fighting their kin, leading them to install the small Shiva Lingam that is the presiding deity today. This story makes the temple a significant site for promoting family unity and togetherness.
