Vembuli Amman temple and the Seven Virgin Mothers

Yesterday was Valar Pirai(growing moon) Ekadesi,so mom wanted to light up lamps at the Saptha Kannimars(seven virgin mothers) Sannidhanam.Hence,we visited Vembuli Amman Temple for this purpose.This is a three hundred year old temple located at Pazhavanthangal near the subway.This goddess was found in a field while ploughing.She is a village deity.There are seven such grama devathais in and around the area.Sample some of the pictures from the Temple.The seven virgin mothers in the temple are Brahmini,Maheshwari,Kaumari,Vaishnavi,Vaaraahi,Indraani and Chamundi.They represent the seven chakras in the human body.The sthala vriksham is a neem tree.
What secrets do you hold seven virgin mothers.Kindly enlighten my intellect.

Karthigai Somavaram at Ardhanareeshwarar temple

Yesterday was the last karthik somavaram,hence mom and me visited the Ardhanareeshwarar Shiva temple at Pazhavanthangal.The temple conducted 108 sangu abhishegam for Lord shiva along with rudra abhishegam.Sample some of the pictures from this event.Above are the pictures of Ramamurthy Gurukkal and G.Sreenivasan Gurukkal who are rendering their service to the Lord. They must have accumulated enormous good karma in the process.Both of them were extremely patient with me and are really sincere in their profession.Ramamurthy Gurukkal adorns the ambal everyday,and told us that the deity there grants all one wishes for.The pic below is the picture of 108 conch shells ready for the abhishegam of the lord.Its really nice to meet such learned people in this day and age.
