It is said that the Lord revealed himself in his glorious Bhujanga shayana form to Kadamba Muni and Thirumangai Alwar. That is one of the reasons why the theertha is popular by the name Kadamba theertha.<ref name=":0" />

It is said that the Lord revealed himself in his glorious Bhujanga shayana form to Kadamba Muni and Thirumangai Alwar. That is one of the reasons why the theertha is popular by the name Kadamba theertha. Also, this place was once believed to be full of Kadamba trees (Neepa). Hence, the names Kadamba Vana Kshetra and Neepa kshetra. It is also called kadambanur because the Lord is said to have appeared before Brahma as a Kadamba tree to test his devotion.<ref name=":0" />
