Anaimalai Masani Amman Temple History:

In ancient times Anaimalai was known as Nannur and the region was ruled by Nannuran. He had proclaimed severe punishments for those who picked fruit in his mango farm. One day, a lady ate a fruit without knowing the strict punishments. Nannuran sentences her to death despite the general public’s appeal. Later, Nannuran was killed by the villagers in a battle near Vijayamangalam, and a shrine was erected to worship the lady who sacrificed her life. Since the lady was killed, the deity has been referred to as Masani Ma means mango in Tamil. Later, the deity is known as Masaniamman.
