Siva Peruman, had plucked off one of Lord Brahma's heads because he had lied. But it was still a sin & the skull got stuck to his hand. He got Mahalakshmi to give him alms in the skull & was rid of his sins & doshams.

There are separate sannadhis for Siva, Parvathi, Brahma, Saraswathi...

Since Lord Siva appears as Bikshaadanar in this temple, the sthalam is also called Bikshaandar Koil.
