📖 Stories

  • The narrative of Angala Parameswari
    Aṅgala Parameśvarī is the supreme goddess presiding over the six Arupadaiveedu (abodes of Kartikeya/Murugan) — Tirupparamkunram, Tiruchendur, Tiruvettavur, Palamangalam, Pazhamudirsolai, and Swamimalai. She is one of the 21 Shakti Pithas. The goddess is depicted with four arms and seated on a lion. Her worship is deeply integrated with Murugan worship — she is his śakti. The tradition holds that those who visit the six Murugan temples must also honor Angala Parameswari at her shrine.
