Sthala Purrana says Muktha Rajan was ruling the place. He was a great devotee of Goddess Sakthi and the day starts for him only after his Sakthy pooja. Once anasura named Janu Sumandalan attacked Muktha Rajan and troubled everyone in his regime. The King was unable to face the Asura sakthi. So he started penance on Sakthy, who was pleased with his devotion. Goddess Sakthy destroyed the Asura in a matter of minute {Nimisha} and she was named as Nimishambal.
