Sri Shankaracharya referred to this place as "Bhaje Kukke Lingam" in his "Subrahmanya Bhujangaprayata Stotram".

Sri Shanmukha Swamy after vanquishing Tarakasura and other Asuras washed his weapons of destruction in this thirtha and hence the name Kumaradhara is derived from this episode. This Kshetra is situated on the banks of the river "Dhara" (now called Kumara Dhara) which originates in the Kumara mountain (Kumara Parvatha) and flows to the Arabian sea. People affected by / suffering from Sarpadosha, whose diseases were not cured by medication, undertake seva’s and they are able to fulfill their wishes.
