The story of the temple follows..
As per the legend, the goddess Parvathi playfully closed the eyes of Lord Shiva, and due to Shiva’s curse she came down to earth. She wanted to regain her status as wife of Shiva and hence wanted to do penance at Munugapet. She made a plantain tree leaves panthal and need of water. So Lord Vinayagar her 1st son and Lord Murugar her second son went to to bring water for her pooja. Mean time Parvathi just dig the ground with a hand stick and the ground water pearsed coming out from the ground.Lord Vinayagar in his part brought water and Lord Murugar his share . So all together three rivers flowing here. There is still 5 feet Shiva Lingam is here in this village where goddess Parvathi did her poojas.
During her pooja thousands of devotees gathered to get darshan of the goddess, there was a huge dust covered the entire city of Veeramapuri. Veeramapuri’s king Surapoaman sent his brother along with six warriors to drive away the goddess. However, he got stuck with Pachaiamman’s beauty and told his brother about the same. Surapoaman was impressed with the beauty of Pachaiamman and proposed for marriage. This enraged the goddess. She took the form of Kali and mounted on a roaring lion. She was accompanied by Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu as Vamuni and Saeimuni and along with Sapta Rishis (saints) who took the form of warriors. All of them killed Surapoaman and his soldiers.
