Samanatham

Samanatham is the name of a panchayat village in the Madurai district of Tamil Nadu, India. It comes under the Thiruparankundram block."Sama Natham" a corrupt version of 'Samanar Rattham' or 'blood of Jains' is situated about six kilometers away from Madurai and a winding path among Acacia bushes and thorns leads one to a place worshipped as Mayandi temple. The place is isolated and is located in an eerie environment. But for the 10 foot trident and stone pillars with a hanging bell, there is nothing to suggest that it is a temple.
