Bannari Amman Temple or Bannari Mariamman Temple as She is affectionately called is a Goddess of Rain and this Temple is located on the foot hill of Bannari which again falls in Sathyamangalam Taluk of Erode District. This Temple could be seen on the Main Road leading from Coimbatore to Mysore.  Several years ago a few cowherds saw one of their cows oozing its milk from its teat in the udder portion at a particular place and at a particular time of the day. Growing suspicious the boys followed the herd and dug the moist earth from within and were astounded to find Bannariamman as a Swayambhu. Despite a few negatives from the then Britishers this Temple was built at the same place. The location of the Temple is on the North Western side of the Kongu Nadu. A Shobana Mandapam having 24 pillars was the first to be built in the year 1967. It was closely followed by the Artha Mandapam and Maha Mandapam. There are Sub Shrines for Ganesha, Bommairayan, Madeshwara Sarugu Mari Amman and Muniappa. There is a large water pit or a Temple Pond close to the Temple which generally never gets parched. The Main Temple stands South facing amongst the back drop of rich vegetation and lush green forestry and this adds Charm and Beauty to the Omnipotent Goddess Bannari Amman. The sounds created by the Peacocks and other jungle birds are simply music to the ears of the Devotees who come here for the first time. The Thiruvilakku Poojai done here by several women joining together and lighting oil lamps is eyecaptivating. The Temple has a Golden Chariot or a Temple Car which is used on special occasions. The Bannari Amman Thiruvizha and the Kundam Festival celebrated during the Tamil Month of Panguni is a great occasion for the congregation of Devotees. The Temple charges various fees for different types of darshans. Likewise the Temple Management levies a vehicular parking fee depending on the type of the vehicle. Bannari Amman Temple is one rare Temple which not only attracts local Devotees from Tamil Nadu and Karnataka but it draws lots of Devotees from other far flung States also.
