This temple is located in Anamalai on the Pollachi - Topslip Road, about 65 kms from Coimbatore. Maha Kumbabhishekam was performed on November 9, 2000.

When 'Naanan' was the ruler of Anamalai, he had a favourite mango tree in his farm on the banks of Aaliyar river. No one was permitted to access the tree and its produces. Once when a group of girls were taking bath in the river, they saw a mango from Nanans tree floating. One of the girls picked it up and ate it, inspite of her father warning her not to do so. Enraged by this, the king sentenced her to death. Later, the inmates of the village made an idol in lying state in remembrance of the innocent girl and started worshipping her. In due course she was worshipped as 'Maasani'.
