The Muthumalai Amman temple is in Kurangani, Tutocorin district, which has the house hold of around 100; but attracts around 3,00,000 devotees during the Annual festival of the temple (Aani thiruvizha)
The temple has an epic connection. When Raavanan kidnapped Seetha Devi in the Pushpaka Vimanam to Sri lanka, she threw the Pearls from her necklace one by one to show the direction of their travel to Raman . When Raman was searching for Seetha along with his troop, they found one of the Pearl in Kurangani and considered as a turning point in their search.
Raman and Lakshman are convinced that Seetha was taken to Srilanka after a brief discussion at the bay of Tamirabarani and decided to march towards Srilanka along with his troops (mostly Monkey faced humans) started from the Village (Kurangu = Monkey, Ani = March). The march was so long that it went till Vanamutti (Vana = Monkey, Mutti = Stopped; Another village, 40 km north from Kurangani).
The temple is more than 500 years old. It is a marvel in that small village kurangani.built on the River Tamirabarani the Goddess is very powerful. The annual festival of the temple is celebrated in the tamil month of Aani every year.
