There are 12 Shiv Lingams in the Temple complex, which includes
the garden adjacent to the temple. These Shiva Lingams
were installed and worshipped by Lord Brahma.
Most of these Shiv Lingams are housed in separate shrines, which are
situated around the Brahma Theertham.
Brahma Theertham is the pond from which Lord Brahma took water for
