Temple History:
Kongalamman is considered as the principal temple of Erode and is the Community Goddess of Erode people. The Goddess is endearingly worshipped as Kongalayee.
According to some historical facts, the temple is believed to have been built thousand years ago. Some people wanted to steal the Goddess for installing in their place. While on their way, at Anangur, the axle of the cart was broken and the people fled away. People of Angur, enticed by the beauty of the idol, installed her at their place and began worshipping. She was named Aadi Kongalamman.
The Goddess has 12 hands holding trident, udukkai, snake, Vedas, bell, skull etc. After seeing this idol, people of Erode made one such, installed and began worshipping. While water is carried from Cauvery for abishek in other temple, the first abishek is offered to Kongalamman and this tradition continues even today. Then only, Cauvery water is taken to other temples.

A very old temple with several deities. This is located inside the market, a busy place. No parking facility. So park somewhere without disturbing public and visit here.

Giving five stars for keeping the lush green campus in middle of concrete jungle and busiest market place. Devine Trees like Nagalingam, Athi, vilvam create serenity. Goddess is so powerful and she listens our prayers. Om shanti
