  According to the old history God Indra bathed in this pond in order to purify himself of his sin and worshipped Lord Siva with Golden Lotus flowers picked from this tank.The tank is surrounded by spacious corridors.On th pillars of the northern corridor are figures of 24 poets of the Third Tamil Sangam.Figures of Dananjayan,the merchant who discovered the main shrine in the forest kadambavanam and of Kulesekara Pandyan who built the temple and the city are also seen on two pillars in this corridor.On the walls of the northern and eastern corridors are numerous paintings depicting scenes from Thiruvilayadal Puranam.From the eastern corridor we can see the golden domes over the sanctum sanctorum of Meenakshi and Sundareswarar.The verses of Thirukkural are inscribed on marble slabs embedded in the wall of the southern corridor. In keeping with the boons granted by the Lord to a stork, upto this date no fish nor other life is found in this miraculous sacred pond. Since this theertam was created before all other theerthams it is called Adhi Theertham and because it is much greater importance than all other theerthams, it is also called Parama Theertham as Gnana Theertham because it confers prosperity on all who bathe in it. As it grants heavenly abode it is also called Mukthi Theertham and as Sivaganga because the water from Ganga from the head of Lord Siva confluences with it and as Uthama Theertham because of its purity than any other theertham.. If the devotees bathe in the waters of this pond of Golden Lotus on Amavasya (new moon) day, the first day of the month, days of eclipse and other auspicious days and worship the Lord, they will be blessed with all their aspirations for success.
