I came to know about this temple when i was staying at SBI GH,Campeon Road. The temple is in walkable distance. Beautiful temple who follow traditions. Very serene surroundings with a lot of mooligai trees enabling us to breathe happily. Even as we enter the temple two sombu kudams containing tulasi water is placed. The water tastes divine. Actually i visited this temple in December 2018 just about one month before my retirement. Must visit place in Trichi

Jambukeswarar Temple

Reviewed By gpadmana

What struck me was that from the first entrance, one could almost see through to the sanctum sanctorum. And it was a beautiful view. The temple is also knows as Thriuvanakovil. Better to go in the evening at around 6, spend a couple of hours. Would be cooler than the mornings. The temple is clean and has 3 praharams. The pillars, art are amazing. The main diety is in a sort of cave. Buy a ticket for Rs. 10 to see the deity from closer quarters. Prasadams like Puliyogare are available. Parking is there on the surrounding streets. If you are visiting Srirangam, do visit this temple.

We had been to this great temple at Trichy last June. This Temple is dedicated to the Goddess Vekkaali a form of the Goddess Kali. This is located in Woraiyur, at Trichy. The shrine of the temple houses the image of Vekkali Amman and the important feature of the temple is the absence of roof over the sanctum. It is believed that your prayers to the Goddess get answered at the earliest. Main: Here the temple authorities are selling a form in which you can write your prayers and hang the same at the entrance of the Temple. It is said that your prayers will get fulfilled soonest... The cost of the form is Rs.10/-
