Koni Amman Temple - Coimbatore
|
The
Koniamman temple is located near the Townhall, Coimbatore. Built by
the 'Irula' community in the 13th century. Coimbatore, earlier called
'Covanputhur' gets its name from the leader of this clan 'Covan'. Later,
a fort was built around the Koniamman Temple by Illangosar tribe, fearing
the invasion of Cheras. The deity was named 'Koni Amman'. During the
rule of the Mysore dynasty, one of the kings renovated the temple and
consecrated the 'Devi KoniAmman' in the style of 'Mahisasuramardhini'.
