A very ancient temple without any roof in Woraiyur
Vekkali Amman Temple的点评
点评：This Kali temple is in Woraiyur (Uraiyur)in Trichy Dist. just five kms away from Trichy railway station. Woraiyur as the ancient capital of early Chola Kings, was mentioned in Asokan inscriptions dating back to 300 B.C. It was described by Satavahanas in their inscriptions as "the citadel and centre of the Cholas." It was ruled by Karikala Cholan before the first century B.C. and the dynasty was revived by Vijayalaya Cholan in 850 A.D.
Vekkali Amman is regarded as the guardian deity of Woraiyur and was worshipped by early Chola kings before going on war campaign. This north-facing temple bestows victory. She is also regarded as a saviour in difficult times. The sanctum of the goddess is seen without a roof as many failed to construct the roof which is an indication that the goddess does not like to have a roof over her sanctum.
Though the temple has a simple structure with an entrance hall and Garbha Griha, people regard this place as a very powerful and wish-fulfilling pilgrim spot. The Goddess is seen in sitting posture facing northwards. She holds an Akshaya Patra, a trident, a pasha (noose) and a damarukam(hand-drum) in her four hands. Unlike other forms of Shakti idols, Vekkali Amman is seen with her right foot over the demon. This posture indicates kindness, love and affection for her devotees. In this temple rituals are done six times a day and six annual festivals every year.
Abhishekam is done at 5.30 a.m. every day. Annadanam is done to fifty people every day. During ten-day Chittarai festival (April-May), many devotees take part in worshipping the goddess. Special poojas are performed in Vaisakha month (May-Jjune), Panguni month (March-April) and during Navarathri days (September -October). Friday poojas are done during the months of Thai (Jan-Feb) and during Aadi (July-August).
According to local history, a devotee called Sarma Munivar, the Guru of Chola King, cultivated a flower-garden and used to worship the goddess with the flowers. The king Parantaka Chola forcefully took away the flowers from the garden defying his Guru’s request. Angered at this sinful act, Lord Shiva opened his third eye and burnt the king’s fort and the houses. Frightened by this fire-shower people ran away and took shelter in the open place where the Goddess Vekkali Amman is seen. The Goddess took pity on her suffering devotees and placated Shiva’s wrath by appearing as full moon. She also saved the pregnant Chola queen who jumped into Kaveri to escape from the fire-showers. Since then, Cholas became ardent devotees of Vekkali Amman. This place was the former capital Chola kings who later shifted their capital to Tanjore. As the people of the region lost their homes in the fire-shower of Shiva’s third eye, the Goddess chose to dwell in a temple without a roof till everyone in the region has a shelter of their own.
During the annual festival everyone having Vekkali Amman as their family deity come here and pray to the Goddess for their family welfare. The temple’s chariot was made of gold in 2010. It is of 9.75 ft. in height and was made of 10.5 kgs of gold and 25 kgs. Of silver. The devotees write their problems on a paper slip and tie it around a trident in temple premises believing that the Goddess will redress their grievances. The temple timings are from 6.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m. in the morning and from 4.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m. in the evening.
The nearby temples are Nachiar Azhagiya Manavala temple in Woraiyur (One of the Vaishnavite Divya Desams), Jambukeswarar Temple (7.5 kms), Vayalur Murugan temple (10 kms) and Sri Ranganatha swamy temple (9kms) nearly. People going to Trichy should not miss visiting this powerful Shakti Kshetra.

翻译：这座卡利神庙位于 Trichy Dist 的 Woraiyur (Uraiyur)。距 Trichy 火车站仅 5 公里。 Woraiyur 作为早期 Chola 国王的古都，在可追溯到公元前 300 年的 Asokan 铭文中被提及。 Satavahanas 在他们的铭文中将其描述为“Cholas 的城堡和中心”。它在公元前一世纪之前由 Karikala Cholan 统治。公元 850 年，维杰亚拉亚·却兰 (Vijayalaya Cholan) 复兴了这个王朝。
Vekkali Amman 被视为 Woraiyur 的守护神，在进行战争之前受到早期 Chola 国王的崇拜。这座朝北的寺庙赐予了胜利。她也被视为困难时期的救世主。女神的圣殿没有屋顶，因为许多人未能建造屋顶，这表明女神不喜欢在她的圣殿上有屋顶。
虽然寺庙的结构很简单，只有一个入口大厅和 Garbha Griha，但人们认为这个地方是一个非常强大和如意的朝圣地。女神坐姿朝北。她的四只手拿着一把 Akshaya Patra、一把三叉戟、一个 pasha（绞索）和一个 damarukam（手鼓）。与其他形式的 Shakti 偶像不同，Vekkali Amman 右脚踩在恶魔身上。这种姿势表示对她的信徒的仁慈、爱和感情。在这座寺庙里，每天举行六次仪式，每年举行六次年度节日。
Abhishekam 每天早上 5.30 完成。 Annadanam 每天对五十个人完成。在为期十天的 Chittarai 节日期间（4 月至 5 月），许多信徒参加了对女神的崇拜。在 Vaisakha 月（5 月至 6 月）、Panguni 月（3 月至 4 月）和 Navarathri 日（9 月至 10 月）进行特殊的 poojas。星期五 poojas 在泰语（1 月至 2 月）和斋月（7 月至 8 月）期间举行。
根据当地历史，一位名叫 Sarma Munivar 的奉献者，即 Chola King 的古鲁，开辟了一个花园，并用鲜花来祭祀女神。 Parantaka Chola 国王不顾上师的要求，强行夺走了花园里的鲜花。对这种罪恶行为感到愤怒，湿婆神睁开他的第三只眼，烧毁了国王的堡垒和房屋。人们被这场火雨吓坏了，纷纷逃跑，躲在女神维卡利安曼 (Vekkali Amman) 所在的空地上避难。女神怜悯她受苦的奉献者，并以满月的形式出现来安抚湿婆的愤怒。她还救下了跳入卡维里以躲避火雨的怀孕的朱罗王后。从那时起，Cholas 成为 Vekkali Amman 的热心信徒。这个地方是前首都 Chola 国王，后来将他们的首都转移到 Tanjore。由于该地区的人们在湿婆第三只眼的火雨中失去了家园，女神选择住在没有屋顶的寺庙中，直到该地区的每个人都有自己的住所。
在一年一度的节日期间，每个以 Vekkali Amman 作为他们的家庭神的人都会来到这里，向女神祈祷他们的家庭幸福。寺庙的战车是 2010 年用黄金制成的。它高 9.75 英尺，由 10.5 公斤黄金和 25 公斤黄金制成。银的。信徒们将他们的问题写在一张纸条上，并将其系在寺庙内的三叉戟上，相信女神会平息他们的冤屈。寺庙的时间是早上 6 点到上午 11 点，下午 4 点到晚上 11 点。到晚上 8 点晚上。
附近的寺庙有 Woraiyur 的 Nachiar Azhagiya Manavala 寺庙（Vaishnavite Divya Desams 之一）、Jambukeswarar 寺庙（7.5 公里）、Vayalur Murugan 寺庙（10 公里）和 Sri Ranganatha swamy 寺庙（9 公里）。去 Trichy 的人不要错过参观这个强大的 Shakti Kshetra。
