There is a story connected with Dasara to this temple. Once Varamuni, a Rishi fails to give proper respect to Sage Agastya. Then he is cursed to have the head of an ox and a human body and he was told that he could get rid of the curse through the Goddess. He, as Mahishasura, went to all the places spreading his tentacles.
In order to escape from Mahishasura, the Devas and Rishis prayed to Siva. Lord Siva, in turn, asked them to worship Parvati. The Goddess promised to help them and asked them to perform a Yagna and through the Yaga, a baby girl named Lalitambikai appeared. The child grew up in nine days and on the tenth day, she became the Parasakthi Lalitambikai and slayed Mahishasura.
