Karambayam Sri Muthumariamman Temple
Karambayam Muthumariamman Temple is situated in the North direction of Pattukottai at about 5 km in
Karambayam village. This is the famous temple in the area of Pattukottai
town. In the olden days, the place was as barren land (
Karambai). A
milkman (
Yadhava) went to nearby place through the batten land daily
and every day the milk he carried, spilled at the same place. He became
angry and started digging the ground. There he surprisingly found the idol
of Muthumariamman. One can see the scars of the digging by the milkman (Yadhava)
on the idol. Due to the heat dissipated from the Amman, the milkman affected
by Chicken pox. After five days due to the grace of Amman, The milkman cured
from the chicken pox and hence the Amman is called Muthumariamman. A temple
was constructed in the same place and people living around Pattukottai,
worship this god on the Tamil month Panguni for 12 days.
