    * Shiva and Parvathi were watching over a fight between Devas and Asuras.
    * Whoever was blessed by Shiva won over the war.
    * But Devas and Vishnu were swelling with pride
    * Shiva installed a blade of grass to be won over by them. They could not.
    * He then asked them to stay at Kanchipuram and worship him as Linga roopam  which is the Lingam as installed in this temple.
