Vekkaliamman Temple, Woraiyur

Vekkaliamman Temple is dedicated to Vekkali, a form of the goddess Parvati, and is located in Woraiyur, once the capital of the Chola dynasty. The temple's long association with the town's royal past gives it a distinct historical identity separate from Trichy's larger pilgrimage sites. Regular worship continues at a steady, community driven pace, and the temple remains an important devotional anchor for residents of this old quarter of the city.
