Wonderful connection!

It may sound strange, but a fact that many associated with the temple feel the Goddess is the incarnation of Kannaki of Chilappathikaram, the immortal heroine from the Tamil classic literature authored by Ilangovadikal. It is also believed that his elder brother Cheran Senkuttuvan installed the idol here and sanctified it. For some devotees it is the goddess Parvathi and for some it is Bhuvaneswari. Irrespective of which goddess is there the power of goddess is beyond ones comprehension. All are manifest of Shiva Sakthi and no matter what the context is.
