Legends: Vishnu worshipped by Markandeya and Kaveriamman. At Tirucherai Shivastalam Shiva was worshipped by Kaveri and Markandeya. Kaveri in the form of Kaveri Amman meditated upon Vishnu with the desire to obtain the stature of the river Ganga. Vishnu appeared with his consorts Sreedevi, Bhudevi, Neeladevi, Saara naayaki and Mahalakshmi and granted her request. During the great deluge, a pot made of clay, was used to rescue and preserve the Vedas. It is believed that none of the pots made by Bhrama would last, and he was directed by Vishnu to proceed to Tirucherai (Saara Kshetram) and make a pot out of the clay on the banks of the Kaveri.
