The most intriguing aspect of the idol, the left-hand portion of the goddess depicts [[Parvati]], the right-hand portion depicts [[Saraswati]] and the central portion depicts Sri [[Mahalakshmi]]. These features are the reason for the name '''Trikale Chengali'''. The Chola Pandita's was renowned for creating the idols of the goddess. Her icon here depicts an eight-armed form each holding a powerful weapon in a standing posture over the demon the elaborate and the incomparable aesthetics, thought that the Goddess was not only goddess Parvati, but also [[Mahakali]].<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=http://www.chengalamma.org/?utm=social|title=Chengalamma Parameswari Temple - Sullurpeta|website=www.chengalamma.org}}</ref>
