This grove and its deity are central to local spiritual practices and beliefs. The sacred grove of Sennivanam is believed to have been established during a time of great need. According to legend, once the village faced a severe drought, leading to a widespread famine and in their desperation, the villagers prayed to Karupasami for relief.
