The book Jaffna, which was written by Muthuthambipillai on July 22nd, 1912, says that Saravanamuthu Muthaliyar was Panchayathu's judge and the place where he had his court is known as Sathiyakadu which was in Tholpuram. During the time when the Masoorika disease attacked the people violently, people got permission from the Dutch Governor and built the Amman temple and started the prayer so that the disease could come down.
