The Goddess is fully described in the Holy Adharvanavedha, as the supreme goddess in the universe. The rituals (poojas) are performed by the Rishimunis of Prithangiras and Angiras and hence the name “Prathiyangara”. This is the only temple described in the Vedhas and the Agamas. The Devi is usually seen as Simhavahini [seated on a lion], but in this temple Devi is seated in a Ratha which is pulled by four Simhas with Lakshmi and Saraswathi on both sides.
