SRI KAALA DEVI TEMPLE, MADURAI
There is a wonderful temple dedicated for Ma Kaala Devi, and it is situated in the Temple City Madurai. For reaching this excellent temple of our Divine Mother, Kaalakya, we have to Board a bus from Madurai to Rajapalayam, and we have to get down at M.Subpalapuram bus stop, and from there we can pick up an auto to landing to this temple. Going to this temple especially on full moon and new moon days is very special than that of going on normal days.

Sri Kaala Devi also called as Sri Kaala Chakra Devi, must be worshiped only after sunset and before sunrise, since the holy mother protects us during night times, since problems from evil spirits and black magic would be very severe during night times. Those who worship Ma Kaalai, would receive peace and eternal bliss.
Ma Kaala Devi looks very beautiful and she keeps on moving very fast similar to Lord Vishnu’s Sudarsana Chakra, in order to shower her immediate grace on to her devotees.
In order to have a peaceful darshan of Sri Kaaladevi, we have to maintain patience, and must keep praying Kaaladevi. When our turn comes to have the wonderful darshan of Devi, we have to keep concentrating our attention only on her, and by doing that, we could expect good changes in our life. If we visit the temple continuously for 3 New Moon days and 3 Full Moon days, and lit ghee lamps in the temple premises, all of our reasonable wishes would be fulfilled. Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays, Full and New Moon days are auspicious for worshipping Ma Kala Devi.
