Manasa - the Snake Goddess - Hydra Origin

 Once, when serpents and reptiles had created chaos on the earth, sage Kashyapa  by Meditating on Lord Shiva and Durga created goddess Manasa from his mind (mana)

The creator god Brahma made her the presiding deity of snakes and reptiles- gaining control over the earth

Manasa wanted to become worshipful propitiated her Spiritual Parents Shiva Durga, who told her to please Krishna(Original Vishnu) which she did by chanting Sri Shesha Shayi Namah(Mantra) 

Upon being pleased, Krishna appeared before  her and gave her divine Siddhi powers and ritual worship making her an established goddess.

Kambar

 When Kamban wrote his Ramayana, he had to take it to the 3000 Brahmins of Chidambaram for their approval. But they told him that they were so busy with their different duties, that they did not have the time to assemble to consider the literary merit of his work.

Three months elapsed, but the Brahmins were not able to have a look at Kamban’s work. The Lord then appeared in his dream and asked him to go the cremation ground, where all 3000 were assembled, and to read his work there. But the Brahmins had gathered there because a child was dead. It was, therefore, hardly the right time to read his work. However, one of the Brahmins there asked Kamban if his work could revive the dead child, which had died of snake bite.

Kamban read the verse that narrated the incident in the Ramayana, where Rama and Lakshmana are tied up by Indrajit’s nagapasa, the bonds of which are broken by Garuda, Lord Narayana’s mount. The mere flap of Garuda’s wings scatters the snakes.

When Kamban recited this verse of his, the dead child came back to life. Approval for his entire work automatically came to him from the Brahmins of Chidambaram.

Sankara is believed to have envisioned this place as the holiest where a snake hooded as an umbrella to protect a pregnant frog from hot Sun during its labour. To commemorate this incident, a sculpture known as KAPPE SHANKARA is there on the footsteps to the river Tunga. This was the first place where Sankara is believed to have established one of the four major mutts.
