Sage Bhrigu to test Lord Vishnu’s composure kicked the Lord on His chest. Mahalakshmi, angered by this, left the Lord. In order to find out a solution for this grave mistake, Sage Bhrigu did tapasya praying to have Mahalakshmi as his daughter. Mahalakshmi manifested as a kid in the theertham here. Since Lakshmi came out of the Milk Ocean that was churned to get ‘amutham’ (nectar), the sage named Her ‘Amirthavalli’ and brought her up. When she attained marriageable age, he requested Lord Vishnu to marry her. The Lord came here and married her and the Divine couple stayed here as requested by sage Bhrigu.
