Pathirakali Mariamman Temple Vaikasi Festival

Vaikasi Festival (28-May-2017 to 09-June-2017)

Shri Pathirakali Mariamman Temple is one of the ancient temples in Madurai district. The Thirumangalam town got its name, as it is believed that the Thiru mangalyam of Goddess Meenakshi was designed here. In other way, it is said that when lord Murugan married Theivanai in Thiruparankundram (nearest to Tirumangalam), the "Tirumangalyam" was made here and hence the name came.
