Holy Rivers – Ganga, Yamuna, Narmada, Saraswathi, Cauvery, Godavari, Tungabadra, Krishna and Sarayu were sad that they had to bear the sins left by the devotees by bathing in them. They went to Kailash and submitted to Lord Shiva to relieve them of the burden of sins endured by them. Lord Shiva advised the river deities to bathe in the Maha Magam tank on the Maha Magam day and cleanse themselves. Lord also deputed Veerabadra to help them. The rivers came to this place and had their wish fulfilled. As their guardian, Lord Veerabadra has his temple on the banks of this tank.
