Kulasekarapattinam Temple

At a distance of 20 kms from Thiruchendur is the Kulasekarapattinam. This port city is built during the reing of Maravarman Kulasekaran, for the purpose of collecting tax on Salt and pearl export. This temple was erected in the belief that, the goddesses here will be a watch guard of this Village and will help her devotees during their hardship. Likewise this Goddess turned to be more powerful and pious. While the king stayed in this port city, he built a temple for goddess Durga, facing North at the North East corner of the city. He decorated this deity with a chain of Pearls and hence the goddess was called MUTHAARAMMAN. This is an ancient temple of about 300 years old.
