Goddess of Sri Vaasavi Kannika Parameshwari
Bestower of conjugal bliss - SRI VAASAVI KANNIKA PARAMESHWARI
Members of the Vysya (trading) community use this sacred space to celebrate special occasions such as the 60th, 70th and 80th birthdays. Hence it is in deference to them that their presiding guardian angel Sri Vaasavi Kannika Parameshwari has taken residence here. Here, She is presented in the Meenakshi form with a parrot and a lotus in Her hands.
When Swamigal was visiting Pennukonda, where Sri Vaasavi Kannika Parameshwari gave herself to fire, he heard a voice say 'Naan unnudan varattumaa'? He wondered how he, who did not belong to the Vysya c ommunity, could take Her to his peedam.
While he took this as a message, he realized he was privy to the conversation between Vaasavi Kannika Parameshwari and Lord Shiva. Swamigal was there on Mahasivaratri night and had the privilege of participating in the festival celebrations. In honour of this, he was gifted a Maragadha Lingam which he installed in the complex. He then decided to bring the idol of Vaasavi Kannika Parameshwari too.
