Sangameshwarar Temple

Tamilnadu > Erode > Sangameshwarar Temple

Located 15 kms north-east from Erode Railway Station, 55kms from Salem and 40 kms from Mettur is the famous pilgrimage centre, Bhavani. It is known mainly by its temple which was built before 1000 years by Kongu's state kings. At the meeting point of rivers Kaveri and Bhavani is this temple built by black stones. In North India, the meeting point of three rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswathy is famously known as "Triveni Sangamam". Like that in South Kaveri and Bhavani meet at this point and so it has got several names like Thatchina Prayagai, Bhadrikasiramam and Mukkudal, Vijayapuri, Veerapuram etc. Usually all temples have a Murthy God but in this temple uniquely in between Swami and Amman Shrines located is Murugan Shrine. And so this pilgrimage centre is also called as Kanthamurthy.
