Once, when Kamakshi and Sri Lakshmi were taking bath in Kama Koshtam, Emperumaan saw them by hiding behind a pillar and hearing what they were speaking. Parvathi, who resembled as “Kamakshi” found that Sriman Narayanan is watching them and so she gave the punishment by first making him stand and then to sit and finally to Kidantha stage.
Becaue of this, he is found in all the 3 sevas (i.e) Nindra, Irundha and Kidantha seva on the North side of the pond of this koil.
Since, Sriman Narayanan saw them taking bath without knowing them, parvathi kept him the name as “Kalvan” and this Divyadesam is called as “Thirukkalvanoor”, the One and Only Divyadesam among the 108 Divyadesam where the almighty is seen in a very small form as Adhivarahar.
