The Legend
The goddess had once agreed to appear before a devotee on the condition that he will not disclose it to anyone. The excitement led the devotee to disclose to others.
When the goddess appeared before the devotee,
she noticed many people along with him.
The displeased goddess vanished suddenly.
The devotees had seen only her upraised hand and
in the temple worshipped is the upraised hand.
It is believed, the deity takes three forms a day – i
n the morning as Saraswathi, in the noon as Laxmi and in the evening as Durga.
The rituals conducted are accordingly to their individual tastes.

Thank you Sir. We knew only recently that this is our original adima kaavu. My grandmother, mother and uncles visited the temple. However since we are outside India, I was very eager to see the deity and luckily I read your blog. Thank you so much.
Regards
Swetha
