Thiruverkadu Karumariamman Temple

Karumariamman temple in Thiruverkadu is one of the most famous temples of Mother Goddess located in and around Chennai city.

Thiruverkadu village is very ancient, and there are references about the place in some old texts. There is no doubt about that. However, I feel that the Karumariamman temple might not be ancient. This might be around 100 years old, even though there are people who claim this temple has many legends and old stories.

The principal deity of the temple is Karumariamman. There are more shrines enshrining other deities such as Ganesha, Verkanni Amman, Subramanya with Valli-Devasena, Srinivasa, Rama and Sapta Matas (seven divine mothers). 

The temple's major attraction is the holy snake hole under the neem tree, which is being worshiped. This temple is famous for snake worship, as devotees believe that Karumariamman took the form of a snake. 

Happy travelling.
