According to legend, there used to a giant ant-hill at the location where the sanctum sanctorum of the temple now stands. This ant-hill was surrounded by stagnant water, as a result of the collection of rainwater, and at some time a Shiva Lingam was placed in this water around the anthill and worshiped. Chinna Bommi Nayaka, a Vijayanagar chieftain, who was controlling the fort had a dream where Lord Shiva asked him to build a temple at that location. Nayaka demolishes the anthill and builds the temple in 1550 CE, and since the Lingam was surrounded by water (called Jalam in Tamil) the deity was called Jalakandeswarar (translated as "Lord Siva residing in the water") The temple also has the statue of Sri Akhilandeshwari Amma, the consort of Jalakandeswarar The Jalakanteshwara Temple is a fine example of Vijayanagaram Architecture.
