As per purana once Ganesha was worshipping the Lord Vishnu at Kailash. At that time snake in the neck of Lord Shiva thought that he too is worshipped by Ganesha. When Shiva understood the thoughts of snake, he cursed that all the Naga's in the world including Aadhiseshan, Rahu and Ketu to lose their powers. Hence the Aadhiseshan and the two main snake gods Rahu and Ketu lost their importance and they suffered. To get cured from Shiva's curse they prayed to him. Lord Shiva accepted their request and asked them to worship him at Thirupampuram. He said they should worship him on Shiva Ratri day.

As per Lord Shiva's order all the main Naga Kings worshipped first at "Kumbakonam Nageswarar", "Thirunageswaram Naganathar", "Thirupampuram Pampura Nathar" and then "Nagore Naga Nathar" on Shiva ratri day and got rid of their curses.Even still, no one in this village has been reported to death due to snake-bite.
