History of this Samayapuram Temple
Around the 17th century CE, the Vijayanagara kings ruled Tiruchirappalli and used the area as an army base. He promised to build a temple if he won the war. After the victory, he built a temple for the goddess. Many believe that the goddess was worshiped by the locals for centuries before the present temple was built.
According to history, the present deity in the temple was in the Ranganathaswamy temple at Srirangam. One of the chief priests of the temple complained that he fell ill because of the idol and ordered that the deity be removed from the premises. He moved the idol outside Srirangam, and a passer-by built a temple, the Kannur Mariamman Temple. There was an idol of Vaishno Devi in the temple of Srirangam, which is a few kms southwest of Samayapuram.
