The devotees strongly believe that participating in the Yaga
Pujas performed according to Siddha procedures from sun set to wee hours of the
next day would bring a solution to the various problems they face as delay in
wedding proposals and childless worries and relieve them from the impact of all
evil effects.

Greatness Of Temple: | |
|
|
|
|
In days of yore,
Siddhas established schools and researched on medicine, developed Maantrika
skills and performed miracles in this place, once a dense forest. Even today, it is believed that the soil,
water and air have their medicinal qualities.
People believe that many Siddhas are still living in this place
invisibly in many forms. It is also
believed that Indira the king of Devas bathed in one of the tanks here and was
relieved from the curse of a woman.
Devotees can worship both Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva in this
temple. There are two sanctum sanctorums
for Mother Paal Mozhi Amman. The temple
feeds hundred of Sadhus staying in the temple thrice a day |

Temple History: | |
|
|
|
|
This is a holy land where Devas, Sages and Siddhas
worshipped in large numbers thousands of years ago. Now, the temple stands dilapidated due to
nature’s fury. It is surprising that the
Sanctum Sanctorum is still in tact protected by the roots of the Itchi
tree. It is also said that a Sadhu,
Tirumurugan by name had stayed here under the Itchi tree for many years and was
fed with milk by a woman when he fainted due to hunger. She also advised him to remove the sand hill
and disappeared. The Sadhu did it with
his hands and found the Mother in Her sanctum Sanctorum and was granted
darshan. The sanctum sanctorum is
protected even now by the roots of the Itchi tree. With the hard work and efforts of the Sadhu,
a beautiful temple arose then.
