Abstract

Men who wandered as a nomad reaches the present civilized human society only after various evolutions. Before reaching the current civilization, men lived his life based on nature. After that men marveled at the powers of nature and so they started worshiping nature to protect himself from its wrath and destruction. Later they started worshiping nature by giving a particular shape for it. Then the people thought that every town must have a temple and it can be proved through a proverb “Don’t live in a temple less town’. They believed that if good happens it is God’s grace and if evil happens it is God’s anger. They worship their deities with faith and fear. This article puts forth the worship of Shri Pathirakaliyamman temple.
