temple is located on the Arani river flowing through the town. The temple
attracts thousands of people during the Tamil months of Adi and Avani
especially during the weekends.
According to the legend people refer Amman as the sister of
Lord Krishna who managed to escape from the clutches of Kamsan (Demon King) and
after warning Kamsan about his death she decided to settle in this place in
name of Sri Bhavani. The temple after recent renovations shines as of Bhavani
Amman, upon entering the temple Vinayagar has a separate Sanidhi in name of Sri
Arpudha Sakthi Vinayagar, followed by Sri Sarva Sakthi Mathangi Amman. The
Moolasthanam Amman is seen with the Sangu Chakram in the upper part of her
hands. A sword and Amirtha Kalasam are seen on her lower hands. When crossing
the Moolasthanam Utsavar Amman we are welcomed by us sitting in a
well-decorated seat, Kungumam and Theertham are offered as Prasadham, which is
known to cure many ailments in the human body.
