The place where Brahma achieved the quietude he was looking for is known as the Sthavar region or as Theur.The temple lore describes how Ganesha retrieved the wish-giving jewel Chintamani for his devotee, the sage Kapila from the greedy king Gana and how he pacifies the uneasy mind of the god Brahma, who meditated on him in Theur.
