Legend says that Lord Narayana had worshipped Lord Shiva in the form of tortoise (kachapa) in this place.Hence the name kachur and Lord shiva was named as Kachepeswarar.
Lord shiva himself came as a Brahmin in disguise and fetched food and gave it to Sundarar who was very hungry when he came to this temple.Lord was named as "Virunditta
Iswarar" --- seen as Lingam in outer praharam.So it is believed that worshipping Lord here will solve problems with food in their home
