Thirukalipallai Temple

www.astroved.com/festival/navratripooja/ The Thirukalipalai vortex is dedicated to the chief deities Lord Shiva (in the form of Kala Bhairava) and Goddess Parvathi. A separate sanctum in this temple is dedicated to Goddess Durga, who sits as Shanti Durga here. It is said that Shakti in the form of Ma Durga prefers the color red—any red fruit or flower is said to appease her. Decorating her with garlands made out of red flowers and red clothing, performing Abhishekam with red fruit (particularly Pomegranate) blesses the native with all that they seek for. Childless couples, people who aim to increase their prospect of marriage, natives who want to accumulate wealth and those who want to get cured of chronic diseases are the beneficiaries of Pomegranate Abhishekam. Also, Pomegranate represents “wisdom”—performing elemental invocation (Abhishekam) using pomegranate paves way for the native to attain wisdom and a hurdle free life.
