Kali was the patron goddess of Thillai Forest.Lord Shiva came to the forest to dance for two of his devotees, Patanjali and Vyaaghrapaada who worshipped the svayambhu-linga, now in the inner sanctum of the temple.
Kali challenged Shiva to a dancing contest on the condition that the loser had to leave the forest.The contest
was judged by Lord Vishnu. The dance contest went on for hours with every one of Shiva's dance postures
being matched by Kali. Shiva performed a posture with his left leg lifted over his head in the Ananda
Thandavam exposing his genital area.Kali, being a respectable woman, was unable to go into this compromising position. Thus, Kali admitted defeat and left the forest.
