Adhiparasakthi Siddhar Peetam In Tamil Nadu India
Worshippers at the Melmaruvathur Amman Temple located in Melmaruvathur, Tamil Nadu, India. Arulmigu Adhiparasakthi Siddhar Peetam is the place where 21 Siddhars (saints) men as well as women from different religions, had their Jeeva-Samadhis (meaning, where the Siddhars left their human forms behind, while they are still alive as holy spirits). Here in Melmaruvathur Adiparashakti Siddhar Peetam, the divine mother Adhi para sakthi transmigrates into Arulthiru Bangaru Adigalar thereby promoting spirituality and devotion. Arul Thiru Bangaru Adigalar is called by his devotees as AMMA (means Mother), here in Siddhar Peetam whatever 'AMMA' says is the law and it is administered under the guidance of 'AMMA' which is a divine administration. InMelmaruvathur, women are permitted to perform poojas in the sanctum sanctorum. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
