    The "Linga" of the Lord Shiva thus emerged was first understood to have been found by a Koraga community (schedue caste) mother while she was colelcting fire wood and leave in the forest in which her son "Yellu" was buried after his untimely death. While cutting the bush she hit the ground and the earth said to have started bleeding. Scared by the flow of blood she screamed "Oh, Maga Yellu, yei Moolu Ullana?" meaning 'Oh, my son Yellu, are you here?'. But in fact it was the "Linga" itself and it is said that the mark of the wound is still there on it. And the village was thereafter known from Yelluna Ooru to gradually Yellur.
