Mother Parvathi took the form of a cow and worshipped here, hence the place is named Gopuri (Go-Cow, Puri-place) and Gomal.  

People of Hastha star should visit this temple as often as they could for the relief they need due to astrological reasons. Visit on their star day is special.

Krupakupareswarar is believed to be all merciful.  There is also a belief that Noble saints and great siddhas’ souls are going around the temple on Hastham star days.  Hence, Hastha star  born are advised to pray on this day with offerings of sweet puddings, vada, ladoo to Lord and Mother Annapoorani. Those with confused minds and aspiring for a peaceful life get relief when they pray here on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Once Mother Parvathi in a playful mood covered Lord Shiva’s eyes with Her hands.  IT shocked Mother Parvathi that Within a fraction of second, the activities of the world came to an abrupt halt.  When sought pardon, Lord said to Mother that she made the world dark by covering His eyes with Her hands and He would now disappear in the Hasthavarna jyothi (light from hands) and  she must find out that light in the form of a cow and join Him again.   Parvathi came to earth and she began to search for the jyoti with the assistance of Her brother Lord Vishnu and  on a Hastha star day, the jyoti appeared and Parvathi merged into it.  As the Lord offered his blessings (Krupa) He is named Krupakupareswarar.  Mother was named Annapoorani.
