Presiding deity[edit | edit source]
The presiding deity is Karumariamman. She is in the sanctum sanctorum in a graceful form with all Parasakthi features. There is also a shrine for Karumariamman idol with the idol made of wood. She is called Wooden Idol Amman.[2]
Significance[edit | edit source]
There was an anthill. People worshipped as Goddess. She appeared in the dream of a devotee and asked him to build a temple for Her. When the anthill was about to be destroyed they saw the Goddess in swayambu form. As she was not in the womb of a mother, she is called as one not from the womb (Karuvil Illatha Karumari).[2]
Tank[edit | edit source]
There is a tank outside the temple. It is known as sacred ash tank.[2]
Sunday[edit | edit source]
Sunday is celebrated as the day of Karumari. One can happily witness the scene of sun rays falling on the head of Devikarumari twice a year.[3]
