Thillai Kali: The temple is in
Chidambaram, Cuddlore District.
The temple is to the border of
Chidambaram which is also known as Ellai Kali.
Thillai Kali is facing east and her appearance
seems to be furious.
Thillai Amman is also praised as
Chamundeeswari in standing posture facing east.
Sthala purana says once Goddess Parvathy and
Lord Siva claimed themselves to be powerful. Goddess was furious and tried to
establish her power to be superior. Lord Siva got angry and he cursed her to
become Ugra Kali. Sakthi cooled down and asked for a remedy to this. Lord said,
shortly Demons will do atrocities and trouble Devas and Mankind. At that point
you will come down to the place Chidambaram and penance on "Him". At that time "He" (Lord Siva) will
be in Chidambaram to grace Vyagyapadhar and Patanjali muni by his Aanandha Thandavam.
You will be blessed and join me as Sivakami Ammai.
Once Kali Matha and Lord Siva had Dance contest. Lord Siva after dancing for long time equally with Kali, and finally "He" did Ugra
Thandavam by raising his leg upward. Kali being a woman could not do this, and "She"
was furious. Lord Brahma appeared there and praised her as Veda Nayaki and
begged her to cool down. Kali here gave darshan to Lord Brahma with four faces,
representing four Vedas and she is known as Brahma Chamundeeswari. There is an
idol installed separately in this form in the temple
Mother Kali is seen in separate
sanctum with four faces. As Lord Dakshina Murthy she is in feminine form and
known as Kadambavana Dakshina Rupini. She blesses mankind in the form of Maha
Saraswathy as Veena Vidyambica.
