INTRODUCTION Angala Parameswari Amman or Angalamman (Adhi Sakthi - Meaning - The First form of goddess Parvathi. The Origin is Melmalayanoor.). Most of the Tamil nadu peoples Kula Deivam is Angala Parameswari Amman. My Kula Deivam also is Angala Parameswara Amman Temple which is situated in Keerakara Veedi, Erode -1. It is one of the most important temples in erode. Boarding and Lodging facilities are available nearby the temple.

Free from sickness, wellness in family, removal of poverty in the family, Giving child to childless people etc. It is a must to visit this Erode temple alongwith other Angalaparameswari Amman temples situated all over tamil nadu. OTHER NAMES OF ANGALA PARAMESWARI Goddess Ankalamma, or Angalamma, is also known as Ankamma or Angamma, Ankali, Angali, Ankala Parameswari and Angala Parameswari. She is worshipped with these names in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.Most people in Tamilnadu keep their name as "Angu" by the influence of the god. Ankalamma is counted as one of the Matrikas or "Seven Mothers". She is also considered to be a form of goddess Ankali or Kali. Ankalamma is a non-Vedic deity and, like so many grama devatas, she seems to have originated in a fierce guardian figure. Sacred areas of Ankalamma and traditional Hindu deities are worshipped symbolically to appease the inner destructive impulses in us. Fowl or lamb offerings are made in village annual ceremonies and these are later consumed as food. Ankalamma's shrines are usually located outside of the village in groves of trees. They are usually not proper temples, but very simple stone structures. The main characteristic of the ritual called Ankamma Kolupu is that a midnight worship (puja) is performed by making a colorful Rangoli with wheat flour, turmeric powder, kumkum, black charcoal powder, etc. During the worship singers recite ballads based on local stories about warrior ancestors (Veeran). The climax comes at the end of the ritual, when the devotees sacrifice a goat and its blood is spilled in order to appease the goddess. Other rituals like the Devara Kolupu or Veerla Kolupu are normally performed on some special occasions by individuals or by the community as a whole. BIRTH OF ANGALA AMMAN Goddess Mother Parvathi the wife of Lord Shiva took birth on her as hive. The purpose of the birth is to clear Lord Shiva from certain sin and give blessings to all people in kaliyug. The birth took place her before the start of kaliyug. The birth place is Melmalayanoor where the temple is situated. The specialty in this temple is Mother in Angala amman faces north while blessing devotees. The great dazzling brightest light is mother Sri AngalaPrameshwari was ruling the world even before inhibition started. Once Shakthi was reborn as Parvati, Brahma performed a yaga to save god and men from two demons known as Sandobi and Sundaran. Through this yagna Thilothamaan apsara came to life. Attracted by the beauty of Thilothama, the demons, and even Brahma, followed her. For her protection she went to Kailash where Brahma also followed. As Brahma also was with five heads, Parvathi mistook him for Shiva and felt at his feet. When Parvathi realized the truth, she was very angry and prayed Shiva that the fifth head of Brahma should be destroyed. So Shiva as "Rudra" removed one head of Brahma so Brahma now with four heads cursed Shiva that his fifth head must be attached to his hand itself and hereafter Shiva must be affected having hunger, having no sleep. So Shiva came to earth and roamed everywhere. When he was hungry he begged and ate, but half of the food he begged was eaten by the fifth head of Brahma: that is, the "Kabala" so Shiva roamed in every graveyard and slept in ashes and that form of Shiva is worshipped as Bhairava in south India. GOD SHIVA’S RELIEF FROM HIS HUNGER Parvati went to her brother Lord Vishnu and asked for relief for her husband so Lord Vishnu said to Parvati, "My dear sister, go to thandakarunyam graveyard with your husband and make a pond there named "Agni kula theertham" and prepare a tasty food made by Agathi keerai (Humming bird tree leaves) and blood of chicken and serve that food to kabala and then throw the food everywhere in the graveyard. The kabala will come down, leaving Shiva’s hand, to eat the food. Then take your husband to the pond and clean him with that water so that it will not catch your husband’s hand". Parvati did as her brother said: she took her husband to thandakarunyam graveyard and prepared the food, served it to the kabala and then threw it in the graveyard. The kabala came down from Shiva’s hand; meanwhile, Parvati took her husband to the pond and cleaned him. The kabala searched for Shiva’s hand but could not touch him so it attached to Parvati’s hand. So Parvati forgot about this and danced; then she recognised what had happened and become big and destroyed the kabala with her right leg. The fiercest form (Angara rubam or Agora rubam) which destroyed the kabala when separated from Parvati is called Angalaamman. Parvati told Angalaamman to stay there and give a boon to the people who worship her and she went to Kailayam. However, Shiva was not there. Shiva got relief from Brahma’s curse, but he was too hungry so he went Kasi and there Parvati, incarnated as "Annapoorani Devi", served him food and Shiva ate and got relief from his hunger. In the Thandakarunyam Angalaamman give boon to the people who worship her the people who had diseases went there and get relief from the diseases she drives away the evil ghosts from the people and people go there and worship her in no moon days (Amavasya) at the midnight of every no moon day Angalamman is decorated and put on a swing (Amavasai Oonjal). Let us chant the mantra ‘OM SAKTHI PARASAKTHI’ and praise goddess parvathi.
