History

Lord Vishnu had the habit of performing pooja for Shiva every day. One day he tried to do so with 1,000 (sahasram) lotus flowers. On doing so, he had observed that there was a shortage of one flower. So, he decided to perform the pooja by fulfilling the shortage by one of His eyes as a flower. So he intended to pluck off his eyes. On doing so, Shiva appeared in front of Him and prevented Him to pluck off the eye. On hearing this incident, goddess Mahalakshmi also had the intention of the darshan of Shiva. As per the suggestions from Sage Agastya, Mahalakshmi performed pooja for Shiva with 1,000 flowers. Shiva was delighted by the pooja and gave darshan to Mahalakshmi in this place. Thereafter He stayed here in this place for the darshan of devotees also and named as Sahasralakshmeeswarar.^[4]
