This pilgrim centre is situated in the village Vastipuram, which is 20 km. away from Erode. Here a beautiful image of Tirthankara Candraprabhu is installed which is very artistic and attractive. The beautiful tower of the temple looks very grand from a distance and on the pillars and ceilings there are beautiful images of Pancakalayanaka representing Tirthankaras. In this temple the icons of Tirthankara Adi Prabhu and goddess Ambikadevi are also installed. They are worth seeing. During the 6th century A.D. this was the most developed city amongst the 24 cities of Kongunadu area. (Kongunadu refers to the present western part of Tamilnadu including of Coimbatore and Periyar). Here the ruler was king Kongivelur who built this grand and attractive temple. During the 6th century A.D., this place was an important seat of Tamil scholars. Among them icons of five scholars are still available here. Presently, this place is called Amnesvara temple. Mail
