History & tradition
Sangameswarar Temple is at Bhavani in the Erode district of Tamil Nadu, about 15 km from Erode. Dedicated to Shiva, it stands at the confluence of the Kaveri and the Bhavani, joined in tradition by a third, unseen river, the Amutha. The place is therefore called Dakshina Triveni Sangamam and Kooduthurai, and old Tamil literature praises it as Thirunana. Devotees perform rites for their ancestors on the riverbank and then offer prayers at the temple.
