Legend is
A ruling King was cursed by sage Durvasa and lost all his physical strength and powers. To get rid of the curse, he was asked to feed people everyday. One day, Maha Vishnu disguised himself👇
@SriramKannan77

as an old man, appeared before the king and asked for a meal. The king kept on feeding him. The old man consumed all the food prepared. The king was shocked at this. The old man asked for a kudam (pot) of Neyyaappam (a sweet dish), stating that only it can fulfill his hunger.

King fulfilled the wish and later realised that it was Vishnu who had appeared as the old man. Thus king was relieved of the curse. As a pot filled with Appam pleased Bhagwan, Moolavar is called Appakudathan (Appam & Kudam)
