The Ancient History of Samayal Kudil Mariamman Sakthi Peedam Temple


The believe of the people is that NAGAMALAI ( Western Side of Madurai ) is the limit of ‘THADATHAGAI NACHIAR ‘ ( A Goddess for Secure ) .
In Ancient days there was a Great virtuous Lady known as ‘ KANNAKI’ origin of CHOLA REGIME and got married with ‘KOVALAN’ a Bullion Merchant.They came to MADURAI ( PANDIAS REGIME) for livelihood. Kovalan was falsely caught by King’s Guards and to project to King as accused for stolen the Queen’s Sathangai ( an ornament used to wear in legs ) when he went to sale his wife Kannaki’s Sathangai – similar to that of Queen’s Sathangai . King made his judgement to kill Kovalan without proper enquiry.

The great verdicts of Maharishi Pathanjali ( a great saint) and great Mahans reveal that the Goddess Kannaki impart her power as a ‘SAKTHI PEEDAM’ to establish the Truth and Justice for the affected people and to fulfill their requests, prayers of the needy people.
Sri Swamiji Sakthi Adimai received the orderings from GODDESS MARIAMMAN to construct a Temple at this Historical ,Holy and Rituous place. The place is cited as ‘SAMAYAL KUDIL’ – giving relief to people from their grievances and problems.
