Prayer to
Madhura Kali Amman
Translated by
P.R.Ramachander
(The renowned temple of Arulmigu Mathura
Kaliamman at Siruvachur located 50 kms from Trichy and 8 kms from Perambalur
has an antiquity dating back to 1000 years. Large number of devotees throng
this temple on Mondays and Fridays to worship the powerful deity and seek her
divine blessings. According to tradition Chelliamman was the local deity of
Siruvachur. An evil magician through his intense devotion to the deity won her
favour. Pleased with his devotion, Chelliamman granted him any boon he wished.
The cruel sorcerer wished that the deity should be his servant and do his
bidding at all times. Bound by the power of her own boon Chelliamman had no
other option but to obey all his evil commands.Then Kaliamman/Kannagi came and killed
the magician and They were worshipped as Goddess in the great temple)
