Religious Significance
The innocent woman was produced before the chieftain with her clothes dripping water. She pleaded not guilty and prayed to the lord to be set free. She explained that she never committed any offence, if at all it was considered an act of stealth, it was more by chance than by choice. Although the father of the woman offered to give an image made of gold equal to her weight by way of compensation together with 81 elephants, the ruler did not relent and ordered her execution. Filled with fury and indignation, the kith and the kin of the ill-faded woman took arms against the unscrupulous chieftain and killed him in a battle near Vijaya mangalam. The body of the hapless women was buried in the graveyard. An image of hers was made and people started worshipping it every Thursday and Friday. Soon a temple was built for the women, commemorating her martyrdom.
History
The temple was built 1000 years ago. Legend has it that during Lord Rama wanderings in search of Sita, he stayed in Anaimalai in a graveyard.
