Perumal Vishnu brought Vaishnavi as a little girl (bala kannikai) to kill rakshasas Amban brothers who were torturing mankind. Upon seeing a beautiful girl, the rakshasas were vying to marry her. Maha Vishnu informed that only one of them can marry her. The two rakshasas fought with each other and one of them got killed. When the surviving Amban tried to hold her hand, Vaishnavi took viswarupa as Kali and killed him at Ambagarathur. Vaishnavi is worshipped as bala kannikai and santha swarupi in Ambal Perumal Koil. The temple was built more than 250 years ago. Vaishnavi has sangu and chakra in her hands - abaya hastha in right hand and parrot in left hand. She grants everyone's wishes as a varaprasithi. The temple has anjaneya in 3 different forms - bala (young), vridtha (old), and viswarupa (giant). The temple has 6 crore Rama namas kept in two stupas. During Srirama Navami, a procession of Rama around Ambal is performed. During Ammavasya, many devotees worship Anjaneya and seek his blessings.
