This Temple belongs to the people of the Kongu Vellala Community and the Varaguna Perungudi Kootam worship this Vangal Amman as their Mother Goddess or Kula Deivam.

The Temple has a huge South facing entrance with a sliding gate. Similarly there is another entrance to this Temple on the Western side too. Quite away from the Rajagopuram is a Naga Devatha Idol placed on an elevated podium. Two huge coloured Idols of galloping Horses are found facing the Rajagopuram. Just ahead of these two galloping horses is a pair of Divine feet which is a Divine Swing and on top of it is a pair of Divine Feet which is believed to be that of the Vangal Amman. The Temple's Rajagopuram is five tiered and North facing.
