The Tamil word, Amma, is derived from the word Amman only, which means the divine mother acts as our own mother, and shows great love and affection on us.

We can also pray to this Amman for getting all sorts of prosperity in our life. During the Tamil month of Aadi and also on festivals like Vijayadasami, Deepavali, Pongal, English and Tamil New Year days, we can find heavy rush in the temple. Some devotees after visiting this temple, found good changes in their lives, and those who visit this temple, would lead a peaceful and a happy married life, without having any family problems in their life.
