a Kadamba King ruled the territory around Sahyadri Mountains. It is believed that he was born by the special grace of the lord. In his dynasty was born a king by name Vasu and he got married his daughter Susheela to Hemangada, another prince of the Sun dynasty. This couple begot a son by name Mayuravarma. However Soon after the child was born, Hemanagada Lost and died in battle. The widowed mother Susheela and son Mayuravarma lived on the banks of the river Shakthimathi in extreme hardship and poverty.
Once sage Vasista happened to pass that way. He advised Susheela and her son to worship the Lord shiva at Koteshwara who would put an end to their troubles. They did likewise and as a result of this, Mayuravarma became the king of Thoulava land. Once sage Kashyapa advised king Mayaurvarma to settle some worthy Brahmin Vedic scholars in his country. King accepted the advice and invited Brahmin Vedic scholars from North India and made them settle in his country. As This Rajatha Peetha area is also known as Shivalli, the Brahmins who settled in Shivalli Village are known as Shivalli Brahmins. They are also known as Thoulava Brahmins because they settle down in Thoulava land.

Anantheshwara
Lord Vishnu, in his sixth incarnation as Parashurama, after making twenty one assaults on kings who had deviated from the path of religion, performed a great yajna. Having donated all the land he won, he was left with no land for Himself. Reluctant to stay in the land already gifted, he reclaimed a strip of land from the Arabian Sea. This coastal strip of land, from Gokarna to Kanyakumari is known as Parashurama Kshetra.
Ramabhoja, a great devotee of Lord Parashurama was proclaimed the king of Parashurama Kshetra.lntending to perform a maha yajna, he got the site for the sacrificial fire ploughed up. A serpent got into the plough and got killed. Although the serpent was a demon in disguise, the king was worried, as it was a sin to kill a serpent. To atone this sin, he was directed by Lord Parasurama to build a big silver pedestal with the image of a serpent at each of its four corners and to worship Him who would be seated in spirit on the pedestal and also to distribute gold equal to his own weight (Tulabhara) to deserving persons. Rambhoja did likewise and performed the Ashwamedha Yajna successfully. At its conclusion, Lord Parasurama appeared and declared that he was pleased with the Yajna and that henceforth the sacrificial land 'Rajatha Peetha' (silver pedestal) would become a famous centre of pilgrimage. This land is also known as 'Thoulava' land because Rambhoja performed 'Tulabhara'.
In that place Lord Shiva appeared in the form of Linga and occupied the silver pedestal . It was on the request of Lord Shiva that Lord Parashurama also enshrined within the Linga – the form of Lord Anantha alsoand hence the name Anantheshwara was given to this unique Linga.
