Sree Bagalamukhi Devi (Peetambara) temple is rarely found in India. Sree Suryamangalam Advaitha Veda Vidhya Peetam took a decision to build a temple for Sree Bagalamukhi Devi for the first time in South India at Kallidaikurichi, Papankulam Village in Tirunelveli District of Tamilnadu. His Holiness Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetathipathi Jagadguru Poojyasri Sri Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Sankaracharya Swamiji blessed and laid the foundation stone for the construction work of the temple.
Located at Virugambakkam in Chennai, Sree Suryamangalam Advaitha Veda Vidhya Peetam is doing dedicated service for the past Twenty-five (25) years to the devotees by way of Astrological predictions, Parihara Pooja (remedial measures), Thaanthric Pooja, Homam, Veda Mantra Yaaga, etc. for the purpose of getting rid of the hardships and achieving goals. Sree Bagalamukhi Devi Yaagaagni taken from Arani is kept intact here for the past Twenty (20) years and the chanting of Sree Bagalamukhi Devi Mantra Aahuthi has crossed over one crore.
Considering the in-depth knowledge of Hindu Veda Sastra, Astrology, Thanthra Sastra, acquired by Sree Suryamangalam Advaitha Veda Vidhya Peetam Peetathipathi Brahmashri Sri Sri Suryan Namboothiry Swamiji had been conferred on the title Rajaguru and Aasthaana Vidwan by Sri Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam in 2006.
As per the direction of Sri Mahadevi in Deva Prasnam and with the blessings of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam, Sree Suryamangalam Advaitha Veda Vidhya Peetam has decided to build a Maha Temple with Raja Gopuram for Sree Bagalamukhi Devi in Kallidaikurichi, Papankulam Village. Separate sanctum sanctorum (Garbha Gruha) will be built for the main deity Sree Bagalamukhi Devi and sub deities viz., Sri Uchchishta Ganapathy, Sri Uma Maheswaran, Sri Prathyangira Devi and Navagraha for the purpose of consecration and worship.
Sre Suryamangalam Bagalamukhi Devi Temple is the only temple where the Chathurbahu Vigraham (Four handed idol), in accordance with the Dhyana Sasthra Vidhi, is consecrated and worshipped in the world. Here, on the auspicious days of Amavasai (New Moon Day) and Pournami (Full Moon Day) Sree Bagalamukhi Devi Yaaga is conducted in the august presence of Sree Bagalamukhi Devi, the omnipotent, Mother Goddess of the Universe who is worshiped by all the deities.
The Yaagas are performed in the Sre Suryamangalam Advaitha Veda Vidhyaa Peetam, as per the Thaantric Vidhi and the Mantras prescribed for each Yaaga. They are chanted 10,000 (Ten Thousand) times each along with Homam. All devotees taking part in the Yaagas, with a view to fulfilling their wants are provided a chance for dedicating their prayer (Sankalpam) to the Yaagaagni to propriate the Gods. This custom which is seen very rarely in performing Yaagas is being conducted according to the Thaantric Vidhi - unique in this temple.
