karu = foetus or embryo , valar = to grow , cheri = place.
karu + valar + cheri = the place which helps form foetus or embryo.
it is said that sage agasthiyar came to this place with his wife lopa mudhra and worshipped the god who gave him his marriage darshan. this legend is also associated with a lot of temples in thanjavur district as well as thirunelveli & nagercoil districts.
the goddess is said to have formed as a swayambu from putru meaning a sand hill. likewise she blesses childless couple with forming a foetus it is said.
