The Rockfort Ganpathi Temple is by far the most famous location in all of Trichy. It derives its name from its distinctive style of construction. The structure of the temple contains a massive rock that is claimed to be the world's oldest rock, much older than the Himalayan Mountains.
The devotees enter the primary temple region after ascending 344 steps. There are two sub-components of the temple: Thayumanaswamy, dedicated to Lord Shiva, and Pillayar, dedicated to Lord Ganesha. The temple's origins are dated back to the 7th century. The temple of Shiva includes the Lingam form of the Lord.
The beautiful temple is situated about 20 km from Trichy's main city. The goddess worshipped here is believed to be the goddess of strength, Goddess Mariamman. Mariamman is also believed to bring its devotees health and wealth. A strong belief is that small pox as well as chicken pox are healed by this god. There are individual shrines in this temple for processional images of Mariamman and Moolavar.
The place is particularly known for the Thai Poosam annual festival, which is celebrated with a lot of fanfare. The statue of the goddess consists of sand and clay, and the main statue is not subject to abhishekams (sacred washing), which is carried out in almost all other Hindu temples. The "abishekam" is instead used as a symbol of reverence for the small stone statue in front of the idol.
There is also a popular ritual of purchasing small metallic replicas of the idol and keeping them at home whenever a member of the family falls ill and then donating them when the disease is healed to the donation box.
The Temple of Vekkali Amman is dedicated to the Goddess Vekkali, who is known as the avatar of the Durga Goddess. In the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the temple is situated in the village of Woraiyur in Tiruchirapalli. It is thought that the Goddess is an epitome of tremendous courage, willpower, prosperity and harmony. They can experience the holy vibe of Vekkali Amman as one steps into the temple.
In order to offer their prayers, seek blessings and give thanks for all that the Goddess has given them, devotees visit the glorious temple. A magnificent feature made of gold and silver with a beautiful chariot is the shrine of the Goddess. On a piece of paper, one can also write their wishes down and drop it in a box. Many believe that their wishes have come true and their confidence in Vekkali Amman's divine power has only increased day by day.
It is known that the Vekkali Amman Temple existed in the village during the reign of the Chola Dynasty. It is believed that Goddess Vekkali is the protector of the locals, and the temple is of tremendous religious significance to the devotees. Before every war, the Chola kings adored the goddess in order to be victorious. Even today, before any significant endeavour in their lives, devotees flock to the temple to seek blessings from Vekkali Amman.
