Evolution of Temple:

                                              In the year 1966, during a cyclonic storm at Melmarvathur, a neem tree secreting sweet medicinal milk uprooted to reveal the SWAYAMBU  (an oval stone- like emanation). The power above revealed itself in the form of the Swayambu and proclaimed that It had transmigrated into HIS HOLINESS BANGARU ADIGALAR and would give Oracles through him to save the World.

The Abode of Saints – Jeeva Samadhi:

  It is believed that the saints even after leaving their human bodies, continue to live in the ethereal world to fulfil unfinished objectives for the peace of mankind. This state is called Jeeva Samadhi.

  Melmaruvathur is considered to be the abode of 21 SAINTS IN JEEVA SAMADHI, who confer all their powers to the greatness of the Siddhar Peetam.
