=== River Kaveri's Prayer ===
 
=== River Kaveri's Prayer ===
Another legend has it that Agastya Maharishi wanted to marry River Kaveri. On her refusal, he imprisoned her in his kamandala. Lord Ganesha, the silent witness, came to Kaveri's rescue. Assuming the form of a crow, he pushed the kamandala with force and the water from the kamandala gushed out eastwards. However, the rishi cursed not only her but also the region through which she escaped. Kaveri in her turn prayed to Lord Devadiraja at Terazhundur seeking refuge. Responding to the call of a sincere devotee like Kaveri, Mahavishnu appeared and saved the situation. Thus, one can see Kaveri Mata in the Garbagrha in service to Bhagavan Devadiraja.<ref name=":0" />
