The name of the locality "Kadugodi" came as this temple was built in center of the forest so the name ''Kadu'' (meaning forest in Kannada) and ''Gudi'' (meaning temple in Kannada).<br />
The [[Vaastu]] & Architecture have a strong resemblance to the [[Western Ganga Dynasty|Ganga dynasty]], which preceded the [[Cholas]]. Inscriptions on the basement of the temple also refer to the deity as ''Rajadhi Raja Bhangisvaramhow''. The original Shiva Linga mentioned in these inscriptions was stolen and replaced by a new one brought from Varanasi.<ref>{{cite news|title=Kadugodi got its name from the temple the Cholas helped build|url=http://m.economictimes.com/magazines/panache/roots-up-south-kadugodi-got-its-name-from-temple-cholas-helped-build/articleshow/51822043.cms|newspaper=Economic Times}}</ref><br />
