It serves as the headquarters of the Thovalai taluk and is situated 7 km (4.3 mi) northeast of the village Nagercoil, which is positioned on the western bank of the River Pazhaiyar, at the foot of the hill known as Thadagai Malai, which is widely believed by Hindus to be the abode of Thadakai in the Ramayana, thus adding to its religious importance. According to the Travancore Manual, Boothapandi is "an ancient palace founded by one of the Pandya sovereigns". Vague traditions are preserved in the Keralopatti and Kerala Mahatmiyam, where the Pandya invasion of Kerala is referred to mythically. The Mahatmiyam narrates a tale of the Pandyas invading Kerala with an army of Bhuthatans (spirits), eventually defeated by Parasurama, the warrior sage. As a result of this conflict, the boundary between Kerala and Pandya kingdoms was repaired at Boothapandi as a compromise. A later interpretation of the Parasurama legend suggests that it symbolically represents the advent of the Aryans into Kerala. The Bhoothalingaswamy Temple is said to have been constructed by King Pasum Pon Pandyan, the son of Boothapandiyan. The presiding deity of the temple is the Suyambu Lingam, also known as Salian Kanda Thirumani. In the 17th century, members of the Saliyar caste lived in the town. According to a local legend, one of the community members discovered his cow being milked by an unknown individual. To investigate, he followed the cow and found it discharging milk on a bush. In a fit of anger, he destroyed the bush, revealing a stone idol beneath it. Upon slashing the idol, it started to bleed, which astounded the man. As a result, the decision was made to construct a temple for the stone idol, now known as Lord Shiva, hence earning the name Salian Kanda Thirumani for the deity. This legend has been passed down through generations and adds to the temple's cultural significance.
