HISTORY
This

century. He had written a book called “Thega alaya Gnana Thiravukol - தேக ஆலய ஞான திறவுகோல்”-
considering one’s own body as a temple and the secret of the key to open. He used
to meditate on Devi Kamakshi in this place. He attained Siddhi in 2008, and the temple was looked after by his wife, T. Anusuya. Now, the temple
is being taken care of by his son Edwin Walter.
