Woraiyur Vekkali Amman Temple

Woraiyur Vekkali Amman Temple From Tiruchirappalli

  • Special Feature

The Vekkali Amman Temple is unique for its roofless structure, featuring the Moolavar open to the sky, where Mother Vekkali Amman is depicted with her left leg on a demon and her right leg bent, and devotees tie their written grievances to a trident, believing the goddess will address their issues while lighting lamps for marriage obstacles and children’s problems.

  • The Legend for not having the roof

The Vekkali Amman Temple has been conducting the Sarva Chandi Homam for the past 23 years in the month of Avani (August-September). Additionally, it hosts a five-day festival in Chithirai (April-May) and celebrates Panguni Poochoridal in March-April, during which the goddess is adorned with an abundance of colorful flowers. Other notable celebrations include the Mango Abishek on the last Friday of Vaikasi (May-June), Navarathri in Purattasi (September-October), as well as special observances on Fridays in Thai (January-February) and on Fridays and Tuesdays in Aadi (July-August).
