Temple History: | |
|
|
|
|
It was a vacant site sixty years ago. Poor people were staying here. Mother Devi
appeared in the dream of one staying there and said that She would come there
as a snake and people should install Her idol there. Sooner an entrance structure was put. While the pujas were on, a snake would appear
there at about 12.00 a.m. As many deers
(Maan in Tamil) were wandering there in the past, the place was named Maan
Kadu. The temple was built in the year
1952.
