	Greatness Of Temple:

	The temple is situated among green fields on all four sides. While traditionally Shakti temples face north, this temple is facing south. The Kanngi Temple in the in the Western Ghats is facing south. Both Ambicas are thus facing each other, hence the importance to the temple as She is in the form of the anthill. Chamandi Amman is also worshipped as the Sister of Lord Kambaraya Perumal near Cumbam. During the 9 day car festival at Perumal temple, Chamandi Amman visits the temple to receive gifts from the Brother. Supposing the gifts are not adequate, She will return back dissatisfied, it is said.

	Temple History:

	A bangle merchant was passing through this place. He saw a hand of a woman appearing from the anthill asking him to put bangles in her hand. The shocked trader ran away in fear. He had the experience again when he returned through the same way. Now, the trader obliged in fear. The bangle trader informed the villagers of his experience. When people gathered there, a voice from the anthill said through a devotee that Chamundeeswari was living in the anthill. The villagers built the temple then
