This visit to the Jyeshta Devi, at Chinnamanur, in Theni District, was a part of Varusanadu Payanam, a Heritage walk to the temples and Heritage Sites,
organised by Aatrupadai, on 20th – 21st September 2025.
Thanks to திருச்சி பார்த்தி, Prabaharan, and Bala Bharathi.
This Jyehta Devi, also called Thavvai, is found on
the Chinnamanur byepass road, before Sri Lakshmi Narayana Swamy Temple. This
Jyeshtadevi sculpture is found damaged, and her head is missing. The right hand
holds a lotus flower (?), and the left hand is on her thigh. The Manthan and
Manthi are sitting on both sides.
A Trishul is installed in front of Jyeshta Devi.
This indicates that Jyeshta Devi is worshipped occasionally.
