- Tell us about this temple
Four Deva rishis viz., Sankara, Sanakasa, Sanatkumara, Sanatsujata were known for their un-wavering devotion and saintly knowledge. They were immoral and always appeared to be at the age of five years to others. They remained so detached from worldly matters that they remained naked without covering their bodies. Once, they came to Kailash, the above of Lord Shiva to worship him. At the same time, Sachi Devi, Swaha Devi, Goddess Saraswathi and Goddess Lakshmi also arrived. Lord Subrahmanyeswar was sitting in the lap of his mother Goddess Parvathi by that time. Lord Subrahmanyeswar as a child was bewildered at the two contrasts of fully clad gods and goddesses on the one hand, and the nude Deva rishis on the other, so he giggled innocently in a childish way. Goddess Parvathi chided Lord Subrahmanyeswar for his folly. Later, Lord Subrahmanyeswar realized His lapse and took permission to perform penance to get rid of the blemish. Lord Subrahmanyeswar did the penance in disguise, in the form of a snake for many years and successfully cleansed himself of the folly. The place where Lord Subrahmanyeswar did penance later became popular as Mopidevi.
