#SRI RAJA RAJESWARI TEMPLE INSTALL#
Sri Periaval advised the people to install the idols and begin Sri Srividya Raja Rajeswari worship. The people of the place dug the place and found the idols of Mother as a little girl and Chandikeswari and informed Sri Jagadguru. He called the elders and the people of the place and told them that Ambica was some where under the ground in the place and asked them to find it out.

Periaval sat in meditation for a while and found that the Little Girl was but Mother Sri Rajarajeswari. When Periaval asked the disciples if they saw a little girl in the place, they replied in the negative. When Periaval turned to return the water bowl to the girl, She was not there. Soon, a little girl appeared before him and offered water. But his words did not reach the disciple’s ears. Periaval was thirsty and called a disciple to get him water. He also visited Trisulam to worship Lord Trisula Nathar and Mother Tripura Sundari and proceeded through Pazhavanthangal, the place where the temple now exists. Years ago, His Holiness Sri Chandra Sekharendra Saraswathi – praised as Maha Periaval by the devotees was on a pilgrimage to Parangimalai for Lord Nandikeswara darshan. As there is a shrine for Lord Chadikeswara in Shiva temples, this is the only temple where Mother Chendikeswari too has one.

Thus began the Surya worship also in the temple during these days. The rays of Sun fall on the feet of Mother for six days at about 6.00 a.m. This is a rare of form of Mother Raja Rajeswari. It is noteworthy that Mother Raja Rajeswari appears in this temple as a little girl. People seek good education and wisdom boons for their children and grow with good habits.ĭevotees perform special abishek and archanas to Mother and offer vastras. Mother Rajeswari graces the devotees in sitting posture with Mothers Mahalakshmi, Saraswathi, Vinayaka and Murugan on both sides. Lords Vinayaka, Muruga with His consorts Valli and Deivanai, Chandikeswari are in the shrines in the prakara.
