This temple is located in Nellukara Veedhi. This temple has been referred in Kanchi Purana. Once upon a time, when war happened between the Devas and the Asuras, Vishnu supported the Devas. He killed the Asuras so the remaining Asuras ran in fear and sought Sage Brihu's wife Kyadhi (Kyadhi is Maha Lakshmi's mother). When Vishnu came to know about this he killed his mother-in-law Kyadhi. Brihu was one of the Manasaputraz of Brahma. He had 2 wives Pulomasai and Kyadhi. Brihu got angry and cursed Maha Vishnu to attain 10 births and suffer in Boologa. With the help of Sukra Sage Brihu brought back Kyadhi to life. Vishnu realised his mistake and sought the help of Lord Shiva by establishing a linga in Kanchipuram. Shiva appeared in front of Vishnu and informed them (Vishnu and Brahma) that he could not turn back the curse instead Shiva turned the curse into useful births and those 10 births of Maha Vishnu are the Dhasavataras which is known by everyone. Thus, the Shiva was called Hari Sabha Bayam Theerth Eswarar, which means the Lord who removed the fear of Maha Vishnu's curse. Round Aavudaiyar. Shiva faces east.
