Minnal
Oli Amman, the goddess and the consort of Lord Siva, the archamurti
of the temple here seems out stepped Her Lord in bestowing grace on
the devotees. The sthalapurana says that when Sundaramurti Nayanmar
was groping
in the darkness and unable to reach Kanchipuram his destination,
Mother Parvathi guided him, appearing as lightning throughout the
way. Isn't it akin to the three wise men of the East who visited the
stable to see baby Jesus ? Hence the name Minnal Oli Amman. Lord
Siva too demonstrated His sports on several occasions and lifted the
deserving devotees to their utter dismay but to greatest
satisfaction. It is a temple with modest dimensions.
It
lies on the National Highway between Satyavedu and Nagalapuram, and
accessible by bus.
