History
The history of Eachanari Vinayagar Temple is closely linked to the construction of the Perur Pateeswarar Temple. Legend has it that the idol of Vinayagar was being transported to Perur when the axle of the cart broke down at Eachanari. Despite numerous attempts, the idol could not be moved, and it was believed to be Lord Ganesha's divine will to remain at that spot. Consequently, a temple was built around the idol, which grew in prominence over the years. The temple has undergone several renovations and expansions, with contributions from various rulers and devotees. Today, it stands as a testament to the unwavering faith and devotion of the people.
