Legend of Indilayappan Temple According to the legend of the Indilayappan temple a poor woman regularly went in the jungle to fetch fodder and firewood. One day as usual she went to the forest and was sharpening her sickle on a projected natural grown black rock. To her surprise she saw blood oozing from it. This was an indication of the divine presence of the lord. The astonished woman immediately brought the matter to the notice of village elders. Hearing this shocking incident people from different villages gathered around the rock. They too saw the miracle. Understanding the divine nature they immediately cleared the jungle and worshiped the projected rock with wild flowers and cow milk. It was thus proved that the natural grown rock that stood in the middle of a pond known as 'Thodukulam' has divine powers. Later a temple was built here and the idol was installed in it.
