Sri Angala Parameswari Amman Temple /ஸ்ரீ அங்காள பரமேஸ்வரி அம்மன் கோயில் / Putru Koil / புற்றுக் கோவில், West Mambalam, Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

19th February 2018.
After the darshan of Sri Kali, at Madras Kali Bari Temple, noticed an arch on the Umapathy Street at the entrance of  Appasamy street.  The name written is Sri Angala Parameswari temple ( Putru Koil ) புற்றுக் கோவில். Thought this may be one of the Kaaval Theivam of Mambalam.  The Temple inscription disappointed me and the temple was built in  1978, in the recent years.


Main Deity : Sri Angala Parameswari Amman.

Some of the important details are as follows......
The Temple is facing North with a 3 tier Rajagopuram at the end of the Appasamy  street.. The temple is very small and kept neat and clean. 

Amman is in sitting posture with simham, balipeedam are in front.  In koshtam, Ganapathy, Dakshinamurthy and Siva Durgai. Sannadhi for  Navagrahas, Ayyappan, Valli Devasena Subramaniar,  Saptha kanniyar and Urchavar are around the sanctum. A putru.. an Ant Hill is on the west side of the sanctum.

HISTORY AND INSCRIPTIONS
As per the inscription the temple was constructed by one Mr Poongavana Nayakkar during 1978. Since the Ant hill seems to be older than the temple, there must be an old temple existed at this place.

TEMPLE TIMINGS:
The temple will be kept opened between  06.30 hrs to 10.30 hrs and 17.30 hrs to 20.00 hrs.

HOW TO REACH:
The temple is very near to Sri Madras Kali Bari Temple.
