  Temple History:
     
  The place was earlier dense with tall bamboo trees.  There were neem trees also in a particular spot.  While the bamboo trees were removed, it became necessary to remove a neem tree also in the middle.  People found a stone under the tree.  While trying to remove the stone with a crowbar, it began to bleed.  The villagers gathered there.  One gentleman, possessed by a divine spirit shouted that “I am Magamayi (Mari Amman).  I am under this tree for a long time.  If you build a temple and worship me, I shall be the caretaker of your place and families”.  They built the temple and installed the stone in the sanctum.  This sacred stone is still in the temple.  Aarati is offered to the present idol Amman only after pujas dedicated to this stone.   As She was found under the neem tree, She was named Neem Mari Amman – Veppilai Mari Amman in Tamil.  As Amman was found with the smell of Veppilai and in Manaparai, devotees praise Her as Veppilai Mari Amman and Manaparai Mari Amman.  Manam in Tamil also means wedding, hence this also may be the basis for the name Manaparai Mari Amman.  
     
Special Features:
     
  Miracle Based: Manaparai Mari Amman is praised as the younger sister of Samayapuram Mari Amman. The temple of the former is on the southern bank of Cauvery while that of the later is on the northern bank of the river.
