Puranic Significance

Kavuṇṭarayyaṉ and his sister Valli’s mother lived eight generations ago. They lost their parents at an early age. They lived without getting married to avoid breaking up with each other. In this situation Valliyammal was bitten by a snake and died due to Lord Thiruvilaiyadal. At this point one day, in the dream of the Kavuṇṭarayyaṉ, the goddess appeared and for the good of the town and at the request, I was born as your sister by the order of that Easwaran; Had to die; We are buried as seven kanni’s in the shade of the Ichi tree in the forest. So set up a temple for me and worship me one day in the year. I will make this town prosperous. “That is my responsibility”. Immediately the Kavuṇṭarayyaṉ ran to the Forest. There, on the stone under the Ichi tree, there was a carapace dripping with milk. The Kavuṇṭarayyaṉ, who was amazed to see this, He ran into town and told the information. They built a temple at that place and started worshiping. The idols of the seven Kanni’s were consecrated and named Kannimaramman.
