During the period when Lord Paraśurāma slayed the wicked kings, a rākṣhasa king by name Vimalāsura, in the fear of getting killed, took shelter in the sacred Tungara giri. He later did a ghora tapas for Lord Śiva. Impressed by the tapas, Parameśvara appeared before him and gave His ātma lingam to Vimalāsura. This is the lingam that we now can have darshan of in this divya kṣhetra.

'''About the Temple:''' This temple is located mid-way on the hill Tungara. The road leading to the temple is narrow and deserted. It goes through the Tungareśvar Abhayāraṇya (protected forest). The area near the temple is however not deserted and due to the excellent efforts of the temple management, the place is maintained very well. Inside the main temple reside Lord Tungareśvar, Parvatīdevi, Gaṇapati and Mahāviṣhṇu. The consort of the Lord here is Śrī Jāgmātā and resides in another temple structure further up the hill (picture on left). Though the temple is ancient, the temple structures now existing are renovated and painted.
