The temple is said to be built by the pancha Pandavas the main linga is installed by Yudhisthira and if you are leaving for this place from Bangalore because the main temple will open by 9:00am and it will close by 10:00am

This is very old temple build during cholas period. There are 5 Shiva lingam, believed to be built during the visit of Pancha Pandavas. Their names are.. Yudhishthira ,Bhima, Arjuna, Nakula and Sahadeva. They visited this place for taking rest . Hence the name ivarakandapura meaning the place which saw 5 people. ( Ivara = group of five people, Kanda = seen , Pura = place. )We can see 4 Shiva lingam close to each other but the other one is little far , this is because Bhima while coming the Pooja had started and the place where Bhima stood the lingam was made in the place where Bhima stood.
