Sambandhar in his hymns about the Siva here that linga changes its colour when it is going to rain heavily, and to red colour before the break of war as an indication.
Sthala purana says that when Siva decided to destroy the asuras Thirupurasuran, Kamalakshan and Vidunmali the world turned into chariot and Surya Chandra as saradhi, Devas as wheels, Meru as bow, and Vasuki as arrow and Agni as tip of arrow.
