History:

• A Chola king ruling this region then passed through this place while hunting and wanted to have rest. 
• He saw a white bird and with the intention of having it, he shot an arrow but the bird escaped. When he visited the place again, he saw the bird and waited near the bushes as it was its nest.
• The king felt the smell of milk in that place. But the bird did not return. The king removed the bushes and found an anthill. When he further dug, milk sprang from the spot. The king, afraid of the incident, simply returned back. 
• Lord Shiva appeared in his dream and said that He was in that spot in the form of a Linga and directed him to build a temple. 
• So place came to be known as Pattrurai (Paal+Thurai – Paal in Tamil means milk and thurai place, thus came the name Pattrurai)
• The Lord was named Pattrurainathar as he came out from the place where milk sprang up.
