KULASEKARAPATTINAM ARUL THARUM MUTHARAMMAN



CREATED BY J.PARTHIBAN BCA,PGDHRM


The temple has its humble origin initiated by the Viswakarma community of this village catering the aspirations of the local villagers when they began to celebrate Navarathiri festival.Even now the temple which is in the heart of the village could not boast of magnificent structure or towering tower.However the scale of celebration of dasara competes with that of Mysore notwithstanding the lack of endowment and it is patronised by the devotees on their own volition.During this occasion the dormant village comes to life with fanfare.The climax of the festivity is Vijayadhasami day when slaying of the demon Mahishasooran is performed by Devi Mutharamman on the shores ofthis village symbolising that Dharma up roots ADHARMA AND IT IS WITNESSED BY MORE THAN ONE MILLION PEOPLE.
