According to a legend or Sthala Purana, the Lingam is a self manifested
(Swayambhu) one. Veeravarapu Parvathalu, who was a potter, was a great
devotee. Pleased with his devotion the Lord once came in his dream and
asked him to dig up the anthill to find his Lingam in the village of
Mopidevi. Parvathalu told about his dream to the villagers and dug up
the anthill at the place indicated in his dream. Surprisingly, they
found the Lingam which was placed on the anthill and they began to
worship. He prepared the idols of Horse, Nandi, Cock and Garuda which
are very dear to Lord Subramanya Swamy with clay.. He prepared the idols
and baked them in the Bhatti ( furnace) in such a fashion that they
never lost their original forms.
