Jyeshta Devi as Sri Ponniamman / Thavvai, Kovilur.This Jyeshta Devi / Thavvai was installed in a temple and worshiped as Ponniamman on the eri bund. This was shifted from the previous temple built at a cost of Rs 7000, which is about 50 meters from the present Temple. Since it was refused to remove the vasthram, couldn’t collect the details especially Mandhan and Mandhi. Only face of Thavvai / Jyeshta Devi and her crow flag are only visible. This Jyeshta Devi / Thavvai may belongs to 9th to 10th Century Pallava period.
