Greatness Of Temple:
Mother Ponnazhagi Ambal is on a rock in the form of a Linga. Her neck is slightly turned on the right side with weapons in Her 8 hands killing demon Mahishasura. A battle axe cut scar is still visible. Near the flag post is a Vedalam – a spirit-like creature generally soft in nature. Guardian deity Kalluchi Amman is in front of the temple as a small idol. Devotees pray to Her with Kumkum archana. Sri Anjaneya is generally seen in temples either with a Abhaya Hastha-assuring hand or with Anjalai Hastha-worshipping Lord Rama with palms held together. Sri Anjaneya in this temple is holding the feet of Lord Sri Rama in ‘surrender’ form. We can see this Hanuman in this form in the Sri Rama-Mother Sita shrine in the prakara. Devotees offer cosmetic oils to Sri Rama and Mother Sita and Sendhuram – a red powder and sandal to Sri Hanuman.
Temple History:
The region was a dense forest in days of yore. When people were digging the ground to take out roots, they found one root bleeding. Shocked people informed the matter to all in the village. They found Ambal as a Swayambumurthy and built this temple.
