Thirukkannamangai.
A striking sight at this temple is a huge hive of honey bees near the shrine of the Goddesses Abisheka valli. This hive is said to be in existence for many ages. it is believed by a legend floting here that the Maharishis and Devas in large numbers came to attend the Panigrahanam wedding ceremony of the Lord with the Goddess. Those who came wanted to stay on to continually enjoy the divine sight of the Kalyana Thirukolam God granted their wish and so they converted themselves as bees and continue to reside in front of the Thayar sannidhi. In spite of so many bees humming over not a single devotee has been stung by a bee here. daily prayers are offered to the bee hive as well even today by the temple and devotees throng to witness this lovely sight.
