The place where Vali and sugreeva worshipped Lord shiva are named Kurungadurai. As this temple is situated at the west coast of River cauvery ,it's called as
VadaKurangaduthurai. Once Vali during war lost half of his tail (got cut). He worhsipped Lord Dayanitheeswarar at this temple and got his tail back.Hence the name Valeepureeswarar. Lord also helped a pregnant women by bending down a cocunut tree to quench the thirst of that women,hence the name Kulaivangunathar. Arunagirinathar has also written 3 verses on Lord Muruga who is at the 2nd praharam of the temple.
