As per one legend, Kannagi of Silappadikaram calmed herself in this site after burning Madurai city. As per another legend, Chelli Amman was the original deity of the place.

    O mother of the world Jagdamba, you are the one who looks after her children.
    Your love and kindness towards me is no surprise O mother goddess.
    Being a mother you forget all our sins and correct us without abandoning your children.
