==Etymology==
The etymology of Erode is attributed to multiple theories. It might have its origin in the Tamil phrase ''Eru Odai'' meaning ''two streams'' based on the presence of two water courses, Perumpallam and Kalingarayan Canal. The name might have also been derived from Tamil phrase "Eera Odu" meaning wet skull. Dakshaprajapathi, who married his daughter to Hindu god Shiva, conducted a ''yajna'' for which Shiva was not invited. Shiva's wife Dakshyayini attended the ritual against the wish of her husband and she was not welcomed by her parents without her husband. Enraged at this, she threw herself in a fire pot and burned to ashes. Shiva became agitated and threw everyone present at the ritual including Brahma, the Hindu god of creation into the sacrificial pot. The skulls and bones were later thrown in river Kaveri which remained wet.
