Ambagarathur Bhadra
Kali amman temple
Compiled By
P.R.Ramachander
This temple is
located near Karikkal town and very near to Thirunallaru temple. The Goddess in
this temple is the fierce form of Kali called
BhadraKali. It seems once upon a time a Rakshasi called Madhanalolai
tried to tempt sage Durvasa and he cursed her. As a result two sons called Ambaran and Amban were born to
her. They were very cruel and started troubling the world. . . When Indra, Brahma and Vishnu went and complained about them to Lord Shiva, he sent Bhadra Kali to kill
them. At that time Ambara took the form of a buffalo and dashed against the
Goddess. She cut off his head using her sword.
The devas requested Goddess Kali to live in that place and protect the
people of the world and she stood there facing the north (Vatabhadra
Kali) . She agreed and started living
there. Since she killed Ambaran there, that place was names as Ambargalathur. She is an extremely
powerful Goddess and devotees in thousands visit her on Tuesdays and Fridays at
Rahu kalam. On full moon day there is special worship to this Goddess. People
who have pain or suffering in their limbs , came to the temple and offer a
statue of the limb made in silver to this Goddess. Women waiting for marriage
come to this temple on Fridays and light a lamp
at Rahu Kalam., The temple is open from 7am to 1 Pm and 4 Pm to 9 Pm.
The major festival
of the temple is Poo Choriyal(Raining of flowers) . This festival starts at the
end of the Chithirai month. The temple
has a wrbsite which gives all information about the temple . Please refer
