History
The history of Masani Amman Temple is steeped in local folklore. Legend says that a mango orchard belonging to the king was plundered by commoners. When the king's soldiers failed to catch the culprits, he accused an innocent woman of the theft and sentenced her to death. She prayed to the Gods and proved her innocence, after which she was deified as Masani Amman. Another legend speaks of a powerful Asura who was defeated by the Goddess. The temple's unique tradition of seeking justice through written petitions is believed to have originated from these historical events. The temple has been renovated and expanded over the centuries, but its core beliefs and traditions remain unchanged.
