Eachanari Vinayagar Temple has an interesting legend behind its construction. It is said that the Vinagayar idol was brought for establishment in the Peru Petteshwarar temple on a cart which broke down in the middle of the highway towards Coimbatore. When the devotees tried to move the idol, they could not, no matter how hard they tried. So, it was then decided that the temple for Lord Vinayagar be built on the highway itself. The construction of the temple was done around 16th century A.D. and it has been an important religious centre ever since. It is not only the fascinating story of its construction that attracts devotees to the temple but also its stunning architecture and spiritual ambiance.
