Karunai ulam kondavale Karumariamma
Un kadai kannal nalam kodupai arul mariamma
As simple as the song sound Karumari is also the simplest God making the visit to Thiruverkadu Karumariamman temple as visit to your mom's place.
Situated 10 to 15 kilometers away from Chennai city, Thiruverkadu once a small village with paddy fields now houses many high risen apartments. This makeover does affect the God Karumari who is always eager to meet her kids.
Devi Karumariamman Temple is just near the Thiruverkadu bus terminus. One could also take their own transportation from the city to reach here. There is also a huge parking lot available near by for 4-wheeler at a cost of Rs.15. The temple entrance stalls a number of shops selling all items for the temple workship.
There is free darshan open to all round the clock, Rs.20 and Rs.50 for special darshans and other special pooja tickets are sold just before the temple entrance.
Once you enter the first lord - Ganesha showers his blessing. In the same praharam the navagraha sannadhi is situated in the left hand side. As you further get into the temple you take another left to the second praharam. This in turn will take us to the next praharam which is quite huge and a open one.
The main deity is in the center and she makes you go soft just in the first look covering with her mercy. On our visit we were blessed to see her in velli kappu making us stand there and get her loving vision as the mother. One has to stand there like a child crying before its mom. Clearly a darshan worth your life.
Once out of the main deity we will witness the urchavamoori followed by Durga and Murugar along with valli and deivanai. Next to this is the amma idol were devotees come up with their offering.
Just after this and to the extreme right of the temple is the separate sannadhi for Thirumal This is very rare combination - Vishnu is at his sister's place. One would always be guaranteed to see Sivan sannadhi in a amman temple like we have Ekambarar here in the other praharam but having a Vishnu sannadhi here is atypical indeed.
Inside the temple premises, prasadhams like sweet pongal, tamarind rice, laddu, vadai are sold. Once you are outside just to the right side there is the puththu koil where devotees offer milk and egg. Beyond this temple is the parking lot which surrounded by small food stalls to satisfy your hunger. But drinking in mother Karumari's darshan had already filled us with abundance of love and kindness.
Om Shakhthi!
