• Ma - Horse; Vidda - Removed; Puram - Holy City; So, Maviddapuram- The holy city where the horse face of the Chola princess maruthapuraveegavalli is changed to the human face when she prayed Lord Naguleswara of Keerimalai and took bath in the holy theertha (Water) of the temple with the advice of the Saint Nagula. This is the place where the famous Maviddapuram Kandaswamy temple is found. The statue of the God Muruga is presented by the above Chola Princess making it in her own country. The old name of the place is Kovil Kadavai, which was changed into Maviddapuram after the above event.
