VEKKALIAMMAN
Woraiur was once the capital of the Cholas. The
Vekkaliamman unique temple is having no roof for the presiding deity,
the reason being the Goddess here has saved the people here from the
Sand-rain and turbulent wind showered at this place by the curse of
the Lord Siva here on the request of the pious devotee saint Sarama
Munivar. She said that she will have the roofing only when all the
people of this town gets the same. One shrine devoted to Lord "Pongusani"
is worth to mention. It lies not far from Nachiyar Kovil and
Panchavarneswarar temple.
