  Lord Amudha Vinayaka:  He graces from the northeast corner facing east. Murai Karuppusami is the custodian deity in the south west corner. Masana Karuppu is on a peeta facing west in the front Mandap of Masana Kottai. The idol of Ahbishek Amman is sculpted in a single stone and placed facing north.
Saptha Kannikas - Brahmmasri, Maheswari, Gaumari, Vaishnavi, Varahi, Indirani and Chamundi are on the western side on a Peeta facing east.
Maha Muneeswarar is placed before the main Peeta of Amman with a direct look facing south. Munnadi Karuppusami, facing south relieves drug addicts from this evil habit.  Family members of such liquor addicts worship him with green coconuts.
There are 108 Karuppuswamis in the temple as one Karuppusami for every one step and for every one second (Adikku Oruvan, Nodikku Oruvn). Masani Amman graces from the Sanctum sanctorum surrounded by 108 Karuppusamis.  Those who are unable to get solutions for their problems from their own family deities, pray in this temple.  To those who are unaware of their own family deities, Masani Amman guides them to their own deities.  The problems of people are suitably solved through soothsaying in the temple.  While in a crisis, if a devotee thinks of Karuppusamis, they come to their rescue.  It is the commitment of Karuppusamis to the devotees.

  Temple History:
     
 

A puja was organized by the devotees in the Aamanachi Amman temple on the banks of Erichandham tank according to the wishes of the devotees and the approval of the Goddess on 14th September, 2003.  The devotees were shown the spot where the Dhyaneswara Peetam should be built.  It was decided to make the Aimpon (an alloy of five metals) idol of Mother Masani Amman on the first day of Aadi month (July – August) and the idol also was made then.  The idol was made in the premises of Annai Masani Amman Devotees Association at 5th street of Theni Forest.  The idol was ready on 32nd day of Aadi month being also the new moon day.  The idol was kept in a wooden box.  The pujas went on for 6 months.  A Vasthu Puja – selecting an auspicious place – was also conducted to build a fort in Erichandam village.  The idol of Masani Amman was taken out of the wooden box on Thai (January-February) Pongal day in the year 2005.  The idol was taken in procession through Theni, Madharai, Usilampatti and Chettiapatti.  The idol was then installed in Erichandam Masanakottai.
