History of Peelamedu Anjaneyar Temple:
Urchava idols were worshipped in this temple before the construction of the temple. Haritasgiri, one of Gnanandagiri’s disciples, a devotee of the Vaikanasa lineage, ordered the idols of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana and Anjaneya to be worshipped .After a few days Anjaneyar temple is seen at this place. At that time, install this idol in the temple and pray to them.
With his blessings Ashtamsha Varada Anjaneyar Temple was built near Avinashi Road, Peelamedu in Coimbatore District. On his orders, the idols and Salagramas were installed on the temple and a special installation ceremony (kumbabishekam) was held in the year 2004.
At that time Coimbatore went dry without rain for 4 years. So, during the 48 days of Mandal Puja, special pujas are performed for rain. After that, the people of Coimbatore enjoyed heavy rains, and the water bodies filled and overflowed due to the blessings of Anjaneyar.
