Kathiramangalam Vana Durgai
Kathiramangalam is a small village on the banks of river Kaveri in the Thanjavur district. It is actually located near Mayavaram, enroute to Kumbakonam. The earlier name of this place had been Sivamallika vanam. It is believed that the great composer Kambar named this place as Kathiramanagalam.
My father in law's dad had lived in this village for quite a long time and our family's favorite deity of this place is Durga parameshwari Ambal. We always visit this temple, at least twice a year whenever we visit our family deity, Sri Vaideeswaran koil. Durgai, a form of Goddess Shakthi resides in this temple 6 feet tall. The photo below will give you detail about the temple history.
The temple is situated well inside the village and you can see a beautiful pond in front of the temple. There are lot of flower vendors in front of the temple. The entrance has a dais with artificial pond like set up with few lotus flowers. Vana durga devi is the primary deity of the temple and it is said that people whose birth star is Mirgasirusham must visit this temple. Vana means forest. Durga devi is specially worshipped during the Raghu kalam and she is the goddess of Power & Success. People light lamps with lemon during the Raghu kalam & special poojas are being done during the occasion.
