Once upon a time, there was a queen by name Moopi. Her lineal descendents were known as Moopanars. This divya desam is under the trusteeship of the Moopanar clan. Long time back, they were poets, scholars and warriors. Hence this place was known as Kavi sthalam. Over a period of time, it got changed to Kapisthalam.
