Lord Shiva asked Vishnu to kill the demon. Unable to bear his torture all the Devas went and surrendered to Lord Shiva. After receiving this boon, the demon became very arrogant and boisterous, He started to pester all the devas and rishis. The legend has it that, a demon named Vakrasuran did penance towards Lord Shiva with the lingam in his throat, pleased by his devotion Lord Shiva granted him the boon of eternal life. Only one temple out of 108 Shiva temples has Valampuri Vinayaka, so visiting this Vinayaka is equal to visiting all the 108 Shiva temples. To the left of Vakrakali Amman is the Valampuri Vinayaka, which is a rare one. The Lord Nataraja Perumal in this temple postures in Ruthra thandavam with his right leg raised up, which is also a rare one. Yet another amazing feature of this temple is the Shastra Lingam, this Lingam is carved with 1008 lingams. The Goddess is seen in a sitting posture with one leg hanging down and the skull adorns Her head. The Amman has eight hands and wears the fetus as her earring in one of her ears. Adding to it, this is the only temple where Lord Shiva is found with three heads, each head stands for one God ( Shiva, Vishnu, and Bhrama), The east face is known as Thatpurudam, north face is known as Vaamadevam and the south face is known as Agoram. It is a very rare thing to fine Lord Vishnu in Shiva Temple, but here Lord Varadha Raja Perumal is found adjacent to Lord Shiva that too having Chakra in Prayoga stage, which is an unusual thing. The whole temple is a distinct one, apart from Vakrakali Amman Temple, there are separate shrines for Lord Shiva, Lord Vishnu, And Lord Bhrama.
Vakrakali Amman Temple is located in Pondicherry. The Goddess Vakrakali graces from the sanctum majestically, She is the slayer of evil and Vakram in Tamil means Anger, the goddess is very angry and furious and so She got the name Vakrakaliamman. The whole temple is bounded with mysteries and rare phenomenon. Though the temple’s prime deity is Lord Shiva Chandra Mouleeswarar, Vakra Kali Amman became quite famous. This is one of the most powerful Amman temples in Tamilnadu. The very name of Thiruvakkarai Vakrakaliamman Temple will slay the evil in us and restore peace and harmony.
