Angalaamman
Angalaamman is a name given to the Tamil village deity, Angala Parameshwari. However, Ankalamma is a non-Vedic deity and like so many popular Tamil deities, she seems to have originated in a fierce guardian figure. In the rituals dedicated to her, she is appeased with blood. Ankalamma's shrines are usually located outside of the village in groves of trees. They are usually not proper temples, but very simple stone structures. She is considered one of the fiercest forms of the mother Goddess Amman, and is worshipped by the Indians, especially by the South Indians.
== Story of (Thandakarunyam) Melmalaiyanur ==
Once upon a time, the goddess Shakthi was born as a girl named 'Dhakshayani' after her father, King "Dakshan" who was immortally a son of Lord Brahma. Dhakshayani loved Lord Shiva, for which her father criticized her, saying she should not marry him as he stayed with the demons and snakes in the graveyard. Lord Shiva came to the Daksha's garden where Dhakshayani was picking flowers for Shiv pooja, and asked her to come with him to the Kailasham (The Himalayas) on the bull named Nandi. Dhakshan was very angry with Shiva, so he tried to insult Lord Shiva by making a Yagna by inviting all Gods, Devas, and Rishis, but not Lord Shiva.
The Yagna started and all the gods, devas and rishis went to the yagna. Dhakshayani Devi was very vexed by her father's action. She asked her husband for permission to attend that yagna to ask her father why he ignored her husband (Dhakshan's Son-in-Law) and why he is doing this yagna without the Lord Shiva. The Lord advised her not to go there but Dhakshayani argued, and the Lord with utmost anger said "GO" to Dhakshayani and she went. However, Daksha even criticised the Lord Shiva among all the invitees who came to that yagna. Dhakshayani realized that her husband asked not to go there, but she came there without obeying her husband. She felt guilty and cursed her father saying that your yagna will be destroyed, and she jumped onto the fire in the yagna.
This news is brought to the Lord Shiva by the saint Naratha. Upon hearing this the Lord danced an angry dance, "Ruthra Thandavam"; his sweat fell to earth, forming Lord Veerabhadra and Bhadrakali, and these two danced with the Lord Shiva. Then the Lord ordered Veerabhadra and Bhadrakali to kill Dhaksha and destroy the yagna. Meanwhile, the Lord Shiva took the burnt body of Dhakshayani and danced fiercely; as he danced Dhakshayni's body disintegrated, falling throughout India to create Shakti Peethas. Where the right hand fell in Tamil Nadu is a place called Thandakarunyam, later called Melmalaiyanoor. The right hand that fell there is protected by a long snake by making a snake hive till now that snake hives sand is given as prasada On obeying his commands Lord Veerbhadra and Bhadrakali maa destroyed the yagna the Devas and Rishies and the Gods went away from there in fear and finally Lord Veerabhadra killed Daksha by slaying his head and all Gods asked to give life to Daksha, so Lord Veerabhadra slayed the head of a goat which was kept for the sacrifice for the yagna and put its head on Dakshas body and gave him life. The Daksha, with the goat's head, asked for forgiveness from Lord Veerabhadra and the Lord Shiva and then the Lord Veerabhadra went with Daksha to the place full of Betal leaves(Vetrilai kaadu) now called Anumanthapuram and stayed there and giving boons to the people who worship him. Goddess Bhadrakali also came to Anumanthapuram and stayed there near a lake in that village till now the people who were caught by an evil ghost go to that temple and get relief from evil ghosts.
