Legends
Karuvalur
refers to the holy place where rishi 'Sundaramoorthy Nayanar' meditated and
'Lord Shiva' heeded to the prayers and brought back the life of an infant. The
child earlier drifted away by a crocodile came back unharmed. The name of this
place (karuvalur) is related to the history of Avinashi - Shiva temple, while
saint Sundaramoorthy nayanar was praying to lord Shiva to give back the dead
child alive. His prayer was answered immediately, clouds formed and there was a
heavy rain fall, after which the tank was full and the crocodile gave back the
child alive. The place where the clouds formed was named karuvalur after this
incident.
