Temple History: | |
|
|
|
|
The history of the temple begins with Mother Karumari Tripura Sundari who was in the form of a trident under an Ilandhai tree. With efforts of devotee Shakti Sundaresan and others in the place, the temple was built and idols were installed as per religious procedures. Mother Tripura Sundari appears in Her sitting posture with one leg bent and the other placed on the ground. She is holding trident and rattle drum (udukkai) in the upper two hands while the lower two hands show the Abhaya Mudra – promising protection to devotees. A five hooded serpent is behind Mother as an umbrella. |
