The original name of aduthurai is "Then Kurangu Aduthurai" (the southern place where monkeys played). It was the place where sugriva came for protection when Vali chased him The Shiva here (Aabathsahayar) transformed him into a swan and hid him on top of the Sthala vriksham to protect him from the wrath of Vali. There are sculptures inside to attest to this fact enlarge the photo below and you can see
