There are shrines in the temple for Lords Vinayaka, Muruga, Mother Durga and one for the Lotus Feet of Mother Ambika.  The temple is strangely known as Idintha Koil meaning a dilapidated one.  But that is the name familiar among the people here.

Devotees believe that marriage proposals would go smoothly between the parties concerned after worship in the temple though the bride and/or the groom have troubles of adverse planetary aspects or doshas of other kinds as Pithru dosha caused by any angry curse of departed elders.

There lived in Coimbatore an affluent jeweler.  He had three daughters.  The marriage of his eldest daughter was delayed due to some reason or other.  He visited a number of temples in Tamilnadu including Tirumananjeri but in vain.  He met an astrologer incidentally through a friend who carefully studied the horoscope of the girl and found some serious doshas.  He said that the jeweler should undertake to renovate a Shiva temple in a bad condition and that the grace of Lord Shiva would fall on the girl then and her marriage would happen in a grand way.

The jeweler began searching for such a temple in and out of Coimbatore but could find none for his purpose.  Someone told him about a Shiva temple in a bad shape in Keezh Chithirai Chavadi in Vedapatti.  He went with his men to the temple and gathered details about the temple from the elders there.  The jeweler also learnt that the temple had relations in the past with Lord Patteeswarar temple in Perur, Coimbatore.  He decided to start the renovation works with his own funds.  Many joined later.  Sooner the Bhumi Puja took place, the betrothal ceremony of his daughter also took place immediately.  The renovation and the consecration function were completed as scheduled.  The jeweller’s daughter and her husband in their wedding robe and garlands visited the temple and received the blessings of Lord Shiva and Mother Uma.   Since then, those facing problems in marriage proposals easily get a solution from Lord and Mother by surrendering at their feet.

It is said that this was a Shakti – Amman temple 500 years ago linked with the history of Lord Patteeswarar temple in Perur, Coimbatore.  During the Navarathri festival Lord Patteeswara would cross the Kanchi River (now Noyyal) and rode in the place for arrow shooting festival.  During the day, Ambika from the Vedapatti temple would be brought here for the wedding festival followed by a car festival.  In course of time, all the festivities disappeared and the Vedapatti temple became uncared for leading to ruins.

The walls of the temple cracked and fell little by little and the idols too were damaged due to negligence with the Feet of Ambika alone remaining as a memorial.   Only passers by just stopped, prayed and went away.  The condition continued for about a century and the temple came to called “Idintha Koil” – ruined temple.  Though in a good shape now, elders know the temple as Idintha Koil only even today.  One Vellalore Swamigal came to this place, performed penance and did his worship here.  Many recall that snakes were moving here and there and also on the Swamigal.
