The Purana is Brungi muni was ardent devotee of Siva and he was not ready to worship the Goddess. At the back of lingam, we see sculpture of Lord Siva and Parvathi together in bridal form.
Parvathi thought that muni has no way to avoid worshipping both of them but the muni took the form of vandu (bee family)and started worshipping, flying around Siva leaving Parvathi.
Hence there are small holes on the Siva lingam. Devas, muni, kuntidevi and Dharumasanen worshiped Lord Siva. Kalika devi with 8 hands, resides in this place taking care of devotees.
Sambandhar and Navakkuarasarsang hymns on Siva. Arunagirinadhar sang Thirupugazh on Lord Murugan of this place.
