8th December 2018.
One of my friend told me that he had seen a Pidari statue ( Kali Statue ) kept in a shed at Pidariyur near Perundurai on the way to Chennimalai. After visiting the Amman and Shiva Temple at Ingur, thought of seeing this Paidari statue. The Villagers could not help to locate instead they guided me to this temple, which is about 2 KM off main road. To my disappointment, this was an Amman Temple and not the Pidari or Kali Temple.
The presiding deity : Sri Thirupiratti Amman.
Some of the important features of this temple are….
The temple is facing north with a deepasthambam in front. There is an entrance arch with Amman’s stucco image. The sanctum sanctorum consists of sanctum, arthamandapam and a Mukamandapam. Vinayagar sannadhi is in the arthamandapam. The sanctum is in elevated level. 2 Two tier Gopura is above the sanctum. The sanctum was built with pathabandha adhistana.
In the outer prakaram sannadhi for Pongi Amman and Veeramathi Amman facing north direction. Stucco horses are on the both side of the mukamandapam.
This temple has a close connection with Ingur. The Ingur Village Enjankoota Gounders, a sub sect of Gounder community donated Gold, 20000 acres of land and built this temple. This was engraved in a copper plate and the photo copy is hanging on the mandapam wall. The Copper plate starts with Sun and Moon with Trident ( Three soolam ) on the top. ( which signifies that this donation should be continued till the Sun and Moon exists.
TEMPLE TIMINGS:
The temple will be kept opened between 07.00 hrs to 19.00 hrs.
