The temple was built at the confluence of rivers Kaveri, Bhavani and the mystic Amutha (Agaya Gangai).[1] The temple was praised in old Tamil literature as Thirunana. The place is also known as Dakshina Triveni Sangamam and Kooduthurai indicating the confluence of three rivers. Devotees perform last rites for ancestors on the riverbank and offer prayers at the Sangameshwarar temple.[2]
