Origin of the Name - Divine Cow Kamadhenu performed severe penance on Lord Shiva seeking the post of Lord Brahmma to take up the creation work. It was pouring its milk on the Shivalinga here hidden in an ant hill. Its calf Patti in a playful mood hit the ant hill and demolished it. Shocked Kamadhenu fell at the feet of lord and sought his pardon. Appearing before the divine Cow, lord said that he was only pleased with the calf. Lord further said that the place was the first among the salvation sthalas to his devotees and that he would grant the creation boon to Kamadhenu at Tirukaruhavur and advised it to perform penance there. Lord mercifully said that this place (Perur) would be praised as Kamadenupuram and Pattipuri after name of the calf and that he would stay in the place as Patteeswarar.
