Legend has it that the location of the temple was the place where Lord Shiva united with his consort Parvati after a long period of separation. Another source<ref name="blog-2009-04" /> mentions that the demon Malla was fighting with one of the Pandava brothers, Arjuna. Shiva assumed the form of a hunter and killed Malla and saved Arjuna and hence the name ‘Mallikarjun'. The temple is also known as Adavat Sinhasanadhishwar Mahapati Canacona among the locals.
The Linga is believed to be [[Swayambhu]] [[lingam]], uncovered by a member of the [[Kunbi]] community while clearing the forest and it is a cylindrical shaped uncut stone covered with a metallic mask.<ref name=Goa>{{cite book|title=Culture and Religious Traditions in Temples of Goa|last=Manekar|first=Kamla|publisher=Publication Division, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India|pages=83-88|isbn=81-230-1161-X|year=2003}}</ref>
