Mathura Kaliamman Temple, Siruvachur

[2] Kannagi now received the name as Madura Kaliamman, as she is from Madurai & got rid of the tantric with the blessings of Goddess Kali.

Chelliamman, as a gesture of gratitude and also in order to greet Madura Kaliamman, moved to the Periaswamimali, a nearby hillock, requesting the latter to stay in Siruvachur to which Madura Kaliamman accepted with a suggestion that the initial offerings shall be presented to her (Chelliamman).

[1] It is believed that the main deity, Mathura Kaliamman, stays with Chelliamman during the remaining days of the week.

[3] During the festival, the idol of goddess Mathura Kaliamman is brought from the shrine to the car where rituals are performed.

[4] A yearly Mahabishekam to the Deity has been performed since 1974 by Sri Mathurakaliamman Mahabhisheha Association(a registered autonomous body).
