Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 A very old but interesting shrine. A very peaceful place and not much of a rush at all. It is strange why many Hindus donot visit such ancient Temples but rather prefer going to somewhere close to home town. It is true that all temples have the same power but to visit the old shrines you will have a totally different Vibe there believe me for people who believe in Meditation can really feel the vibes from Head to Toe. HISTORY OF THE TEMPLE: The great Maratha ruler Shivaji is said to have visited the Kalikambal shrine in Chennai, during his tour of the southern region of the Indian subcontinent. This temple enshrines Kalikambal (Kamakshi) and Kamateswarar and a host of parivara devatas. The history of the temple goes back to a few hundred years. DIVINESS OF THE TEMPLE: It is said that the original location of this temple was closer to the sea shore and that it was relocated to its present location during the period of British rule in India.It is also believed that a firece ugra form of the Goddess was held in worship earlier, and that this form was replaced with the Shanta Swaroopa form of Kamakshi, along with a Meru in the recent past. AUSPICIOUS DAYS: The Kinnitter - a chariot lined with metal cymbals is unique to this temple, and the kinnitter procession in the month of Vaikasi attracts large crowds. The Navaratri and the Vasanta Navaratri festivals are also of a unique nature here. POOJA TYPES AND TARIFF: Poojas listed here are applicable for this temple only.The tariff shown are not actual cost payable to the temple. It includes our service charge, cost of pooja items and Delivery charges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
