Anuvavi Sree Subramaniar Temple,Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India. This Anuvavi Subramanya Swamy Temple is located at Periyathadagam, at a distance of 12 kms from Coimbatore. When Lord Anjaneya was on his way back bringing Sanjeevi hill he felt very thirsty and stopped in this place to quench his thirst. Unfortunately Lord Anjaneya could not find water in that area. So Anjaneya prayed to Lord Muruga for water. As an answer to Anjaneyas prayer Lord Muruga appeared with Deivanai and with the help of his weapon VEL pierced on this hill and water started to ooze out from the hill which helped Lord Anjaneya to quench his thirst. Even today the villagers of this area use the natural water from that particular pond for drinking and other purposes. There are nearly 550 steps to be claimed to reach the main temple. There is small temple for the Lord Ganasha on the way. Main deity here is Lord Subramaniya (Sri Karthikeya) with his consorts Sri Devayani and Sri Valli. Adjacent to sannathi of Lord Subramaniya is the sannathi of Lord Anjaneya Swami. There is a small rath made of wood for taking the deity around the temple in parikrima. If you climb the steps that are adjacent to the Anjaneya sannathi, you will see the place from where Lord Subramaniya had witnessed Lord Anjaneya quenching his thirst. Adjacent to that is the spring from where water is collected in the tank.
