Kuadam (also known as Kua or more popularly Kapadapuram) was the capital of the ancient Pandian kingdom of the Meen'Koodal epoch (the second Sangam academy). The grand old poet and saint Nakkeerar and the Iraiyanaar porul'urai mentions that Kuadam was the capital from c.5400 BCE to c.1750 BCE for about 3650 years.

Around 1750 BCE, the last great deluge flooded forever Kuadam and the remaining part of the Kumari kaandam (correlates with the Biblical record of "the flood" around 2050 BCE ).

Kuadam was to the north of the ancient Paqruli river about 700 kaadham south of the Kumari river delta.
