Ganesha refers to the “lord of the hosts”
‘Ga’ symbolizes Buddhi (intellect) and ‘Na’ symbolizes Vijnana (wisdom). Ganesha is thus considered the master of intellect and wisdom.
The story of 3 brothers , Blind,Deaf and Dumb – One of them used to Irrigate the field through the channels and the other 2 used to ply on the piccota . On one occasion they found that the water in the well got depleted and they can no longer pull water from the well . So one of them got into the well and started digging it deeper , and their sharp implement hit a stone formation and the entire water present in the well turned blood red . Startled by this divine experience all 3 became normal from their disabilities .After this miracle ,coconuts were offered by villagers and the theertham from the coconuts covered the whole area , hence the usage of the word “Kaniparakam” which later pronounced as Kaniapakam .
Even today the springs of the well are perennial and eternal , and this water is offered to devotees as theertham .
