Legend says that Parasurama upon recovering land from the sea, coroneted his devotee Ramabhoja as a ruler. The ruler wiped out a snake unintentionally and to get himself off from sarpa dosha he made a silver peetham with a snake cut out on it. Ramabhoja then installed Parasurama in the linga swaroopam and revered him as Ananteswara. Thus the temple of Ananteshwar came into being.
