According to Kshetra Purana long long back all sages numbering to one crore, gathered in this place and did tapas for a long time to please Lord Shiva. Then Shiva appeared in front of each of them thus this place where Lord Shiva appeared in one crore form, became popular as Kotee-eshwar, but slowly got translated as Koteshwar.
It is said that the present temple was built by Pandavas, no doubt it looks that old and giant.
