The Legend of Gajendra Viratham

The history of Kabisthalam dates back to the Puranic era. Legend has it that a King named Indradyumna was cursed by Sage Agastya/Durvasa to become an elephant due to his arrogance. He roamed the forests as Gajendra, the king of elephants.

One day, while plucking a lotus flower from a pond to offer to Lord Vishnu, a crocodile (who was actually a cursed Gandharva named Huhu) grabbed his leg. The struggle lasted for years. Finally, realizing his own strength was failing, the elephant surrendered completely to the Lord, crying out “Adimoolame!” (Oh, Primal Cause!).

Lord Vishnu instantly appeared on Garuda, beheaded the crocodile with his Chakra, and saved Gajendra. This act of divine rescue is celebrated as Gajendra Moksham.

Why is it called Kabisthalam?

It is also believed that Lord Anjaneya (Hanuman) performed penance here to see this specific form of Vishnu. Since ‘Kabi’ means Monkey, the place became known as Kabisthalam.
