Sri Karandhai Kodi Amman Temple

According to legends, once there was massive drought during the reign of the Cholas and the king sought the advice of sage Vasishtar. A certain Brahmin lived with an unchaste woman and the sage advised him to be sent away from the country. There after the country would be blessed with rains and prosperity. The King accepted his advice and drove the Brahmin out of the county. But the Brahmin aligned with one Chatrugopan who was the enemy of Chola king. Calamities occurred in his kingdom also and the enraged Chatrugopan came to fight with the Chola king. Then the Deity kali that is gurading the boundaries of the kingdom took scores of figures and with burning wood destroyed Chatrugopan. The king who became joyous, constructed a temple for Sri Kali, now called Kodiamman.
