In Mahabharatha, Keesakan Who was problematic to Draupathi was killed by Bheema in this place. Reffering to killing ("konra-Idam") , this place later became Kundadam. Kundadam- Kalabhairava Vaduganathar is considered very sacred as equal to Kasi-Kalabhairavar.
Another Interesting fact is (which also refers to kundadam) when the Pandavas were in exile into the forests, they ventured out into the country in disguise. They were travelling near the place called Dharapuram, and one of the Dhuryodhana's men identified the Pandavas and went on to inform Dhuryodhana.
The place where the Pandavas is called Kandidam [Kanda (Found) + Idam (Place)], which later got transformed and now called as Kundadam.
