Thirukolur
As per the Legends, Kubera, the God of wealth, was cursed by Goddess Parvati because he was impolite and became bankrupt. Therefore, Parvati, in turn, lost all her Nava Nidhi's (nine forms of wealth) that were the Mahapadma (Sacred Lotus), Padma (Lotus), Shanku (Conch), Makara (Crocodile), Kachyapa (tortoise), Mukund (Quicksilver), Kund(jasmine), Neelam (sapphire), and Kharva(dwarf). These Nava Nidhis' did penance here for the Lord Vishnu to marry them. He responded and appeared as 'Vaithamanidhi' (one who kept the wealth safe), the protector of the Nidhis. Kubera relieved from the curse here.
The war between Dharma(righteousness) and Adharma (wickedness) took place at this spot. Dharma stayed here, praying to the Lord Vishnu. One day, Adharma attacked him and was sent fleeing by Dharma. Therefore. this area got the title Adharmapisunam.
