About Kottai Mariamman Temple

Come visit the Kottai Mariamman Temple tucked away in Dharapuram , nestled cosily in the Tirupur district! It's a place that captures hearts with its historical charm & spiritual essence. Every visitor feels blessed by the Goddess as soon as they step inside. The temple's star attraction? A deity that appeared all by itself – it is not that something? Tippu Sultan gets credit for building a fort, of which now, well, there aren't any traces left. However, this temple got its name from that story!

Festivals:

• Catch the Purattasi Navarathri in the fall, around September and October.
• Chitra Paurnami lights up in spring during April and May.
• Feel the summer vibes at Vasantha Utsav from May to June.
• Aani Tirumanjanam festivities dance through Jun-July
• Don’t miss Tirukarthigai when winter rolls around in Nov-Dec
• The Fridays of Aadi Month are super special with extra poojas. 

Special Features:

Not one, not two, but three Shaktis (Durga, Lakshmi & Saraswathi) grace this spot! Folks bring flowers for blessings, & Guess what? Either a kid or a priest picks those flowers up, a unique way to see if the Goddess nods yes or no to starting new things like businesses or special home events.

Longing for peace and partnership? Couples often pray here.

Got measles or summer illnesses? Locals believe Kottai Mariamman offers relief.

When wishes are answered, devotees host rituals & even share meals right there with other visitors.

Wanna know more about the goddess forms here? All three forms are self-manifested, pretty awesome, right? PLUS, there’s Mariamman with a demon face on her belly, showing she conquered evil once upon a time.

FYI - Goddess is also known affectionately as Koteeswari Mari Amman.

Opening Hours: From 6 AM to 11 AM and 5 PM to 8 PM daily.
