History of Thillai Kali Amman
Thillai Kali Amman is the powerful presiding goddess of Chidambaram (Thillai Vanam). Her temple, located just north of the famous Nataraja Temple, is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas.
Origin of Thillai Kali Amman
According to traditional Tamil accounts, when Lord Shiva performed the Ananda Tandava (dance of bliss) at Chidambaram, Goddess Kali wanted to dance alongside him. Shiva pointed out a flaw in her dance, which angered Kali. She left the temple and settled in the northern part of Chidambaram.
Shiva made several attempts to pacify her. Finally, Kali Amman relented and agreed to stay there and bless devotees. This place is now known as the Thillai Kali Amman Temple. In earlier times, animal sacrifices were offered to the Goddess. Today, that practice has been replaced with offerings of cucumbers, pumpkins, and other vegetables.
