According to Siruvachur sthala purana-local history, Madura Kali is none other than Kannaki Herself now in this temple after setting Madurai ablaze for the injustice meted out to Her. Mother Madura Kali Amman would not allow or tolerate violence and wrong doings. A new temple is under construction for Mother Madura Kali Amman. Sri Ramaswami, son of Sri Madurakali Dasan Krishnamurthi Bhattacharya has formed Sri Madura Kali Amman Kaingarya Sabha for the purpose and is its first trustee. With the contribution of devotees, 22 cent land had been purchased for the purpose in Perungalathur and this is named as Tiruvapuri. Madurakali Amman is the Kula Devatha of this family. |
