Temple History: | |
|
|
|
|
The temple was built by a Chera King. Many chieftains of the place had renovated the temple from time to time. About 300 years ago, some devotees were returning to Kumarasami Patti from Ayodhya Pattinam after worshipping Lord Sri Rama. They saw a huge snake on the way spreading its hood. They ran in panic but fell at a place as something stuck there. They managed to reach home. The same night, Mother Amman appeared in the dream of an elderly man of the place and told him that she was under the place where people fell down and asked him to build a temple and conduct regular pujas, promising all prosperity to the people of the village. People rushed to the spot next morning and found a beautiful Amman idol. They built the temple at the same place, installed Her and named Ellai Pidari Amman. Noted religious scholar Sri Tiru Muruga Kripananda Variar had visited the temple and worshipped mother. Chera Kings and chieftains use to begin any work only after offering prayers to Mother Ellai Pidari Amman.
