Legendsays that Lord Narayana had worshipped Lord Shiva in the form oftortoise

(kachapa) in this place.Hence the name kachur and Lord shivawas named as

Kachepeswarar.

Lord shiva himself came as a Brahmin indisguise and fetched food and gave it to

Sundarar who was very hungrywhen he came to this temple.Lord was named as

" Virunditta Iswarar " ---seen as Lingam in outer praharam.So it is believed that

worshippingLord here will solve problems with food in their home.
