Sri Agastheeswarar (Karuvalarcheri) Temple

The devotees come to this temple and pray to the mother with a sincere heart, perform rituals, and light ghee lamps. After the rituals, they buy turmeric roots from the temple shop and continue worship. By doing so, they believe that all obstacles will be removed, and the blessings of the Karuvalar Naayagi will be bestowed upon them. Pregnant women also benefit from performing this worship. Women who have performed the worship and visited the temple again after a few months witness the fulfillment of their desires, such as childbirth, as well as receiving turmeric as prasadam, which is believed to be powerful.
