Sage Agasthiar’s star is said to be Canopus, which means 'Clear water of its impurities ' Sage Agasthiar is said to have accomplished many historical events – This story starts when one day in Thiru Kailayam -- when the divine marriage of Lord Shiva with Goddess Parvathi was about to take place, every single element present in the entire universe assembled in Kailaya. Hence the weight was too much to bear for the place so it started shaking in the northern part of Kailayam and the weight started giving up. Hence it was decided that one single very Pure and powerful sole had to move to the southern part so that things would become alright.
