Many years ago, Mahaperiava was on His way to having darshan of Sri Nandeeswararat Parangimalai St Thomas Mount in Madras. En route He had darshan of Trisulanathar and Tripurasundari and then
rested for a while under a fig tree (as He always walked, whatever be the distance).
rested for a while under a fig tree (as He always walked, whatever be the distance).
He felt thirsty and so called out for one of His sishyas. But, since they were resting at a distance, none heard it. Then, there appeared a Little Girl with water in a 'sombu' a small vessel and offered it to Him. He drank it and when He wanted to return the sombu, She was not be seen around any where. He asked every one, but none had even seen Her.
Then He sat in meditation for a while and realised that the Girl was none other than Ambal herself. He called the village head and other people and told them to dig the place where He sat.They found the vigraha of Balambika and Chandikeswari there!
He told them to instal the vigrahas and thus came about the present day Sri Vidya Raja Rajeswari temple at Nehru Nagar, Pazhavanthangal, Nanganallur, Madras!
The address is:
Nehru Colony 2nd St, Nanganallur, Madras.
