Thirukkadaiyur derives its name from the ambrosia pot, called Gatam in Tamil. Vishnu, Indra, and the other Devas needed a clean place to consume the ambrosia that had been created during the Samudra manthan and, therefore, brought the ambrosia pot here.

Famous quotes containing the word origin:
“Someone had literally run to earth
In an old cellar hole in a byroad
The origin of all the family there.
Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe
That now not all the houses left in town
Made shift to shelter them without the help
Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“In the woods in a winter afternoon one will see as readily the origin of the stained glass window, with which Gothic cathedrals are adorned, in the colors of the western sky seen through the bare and crossing branches of the forest.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
