Legend:
Sri Krishna killed Naragasura with Satyabama and he redeemed all the wealth from him and reimbursed devas like varuna and others. Sometime later Satyabama asked for Parijatha flower. Sri Krishna went to Indra-loka and asked Indra for the flowers. Indira refused to give the flowers. So Sri Krishna angrily cursed Indira that he should lose his attractive features. Accordingly Indira lost all his charm and became very ugly-looking. In Tamil language 'Kavalam' means a beautifull place. Lord Krishna with Satyabama came to Thiru-Kavalam from Dwaraka and stayed for ever in this place. Later Indira realised his mistakes and came to the earth to Thiru- Kavalam (Boologa Dwaraka). He did penance persistantly for a very long period. Krishna appeared before Indira. Sri krishna blessed him lifting his previous curse and Indira regained his handsome looks. Happily Indira went to Indiraloga and sent a Parijadha tree to Satyabama.
