There is Hindu mythology of this temple related to purana. Lord Shiva self manifested as lingam with a foot mark of calf in head. When one time lord brahma stopped creation and thinking something that time Lord vishnu come to known this in order to continue creation activity.
Lord Vishnu approached kamadhenu, which is a sacred cow in heaven. Lord Vishnu asked kamadhenu to do deep penance to get boon for creation from Lord shiva.
As per Lord vishnu's wish kamadhenu went to kailash and do deep penance for several years penance went on. Best Lord shiva didn't come to know kamadhenu. Meanwhile rishi narathar came to kailash and saw kamadhenu is doing penance to Lord Shiva.
Narathar gave advice to kamadhenu go to dhakshana kailash and continue the prayer to the Lord surely you will get the boon. As per Narathar guidance kamadhenu went to dhakshana kailash which is the Patteshwarar.
Kamadhenu went and started praying to the Lord shiva. One day kamadhenu with son Patti planned to holy bath Lord shiva on that time mistakenly Patti kept foot on Lord shiva head. And kamadhenu got angered and try to punish son Patti, in order to protect Patti Lord shiva with infinite love appeared before Kamadhenu. And Lord said I will have the foot mark of Patti in my head as boon. And so this temple name came to know Patteshwarar.
And Lord said I can't give the boon of creation because this place is holy which free from cycle of birth. And so instead of boon Lord showered blessing and given the vision of Lords dance thandava.
To attain immortal and free from cycle of birth we need to pray to Lord Patteshwarar
