Shiva Lingam here is a Swayambu Though River Ganga was bought down from heaven to earth due to the monumental efforts of sage Bhagirath, Sage Kapila was upset that his curse actions/actions has made the generations of King Sagar to suffer. To get inner peace he started worshipping Lord Shiva. Reluctant to keep the linga on the ground, Kapila kept the linga on his left hand while showering flowers with right hand. Worshipping any God using only your left hand is a sin and Kapila has to be born as a cow as an atonement for his sin. This incident occurred as a dream to Parantaka Chola II, 957
