It is said that about 5600 years ago, an Apsara (a celestial nymph) of the court of King Indra had to spend 12 years on the earth due to a curse. On the earth, the King Digva offended her and the Apsara cursed him to become a leper. Then King Digva meditated to be free from the curse. One day the Lord was pleased and the King heard a voice from the heavens that his stone idol would appear at the seashore and the King should install the idol to be free from Leprosy. Thus, King Digva brought the idol from the seashore and built this Temple to install it.
