Thiruchendur, a temple town like many towns in the state of Tamil Nadu, is named after the red soil nature of the town Senthoor. Legend has it that the name Tiruchendur originated from Thiru, meaning sacred, because it was a battleground for Lord Muruga, and Senthoor, meaning red place, because of the bloodiness of the battle.
