Temple Name

Sthalam

&nbsp;

Goddess Chengalamma Parameswari manifested Herself in Sullurpeta, which is near Nellore. History shows us that it was established during the fourth and fifth centuries. People also refer to her as the village goddess &quot;Tenkali&quot;. With the passage of time, she is being worshiped regularly by devotees as Chengalamma. Devotees turn up in large numbers to witness &quot;Chengalamma Jatara&quot; (fair).

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The Village goddess who was called Tankali gained reputation as Sullurpeta Chengalamma Thalli and her idol in the temple faces the sea. Devotees from different parts of the State visit the place and fulfill their vows, referring to the goddess as the mother who grants boons liberally. The naturally-formed image of the goddess adorning the hanging roots (vooda) of the banyan tree is really an awe-inspiring spectacle.

Puranam

&nbsp;

Once upon a time, that is about 10th century at Nellore district beside Kalangi river, few cow taker while swimming noticed Goddess idol, immediately they rushed to the village to inform all. Further, villagers reached the place to collect the idol, to their surprise all their efforts in moving the idol went in vain.

Next day with all the hope they approached the idol and noticed that idol is facing towards the south and was standing straight. Only after performing poojas, they were able to lift the idol. Idol was carried to the present place and installed it here.

The goddess in earlier days used to be called as Tenkali (Dakshina Kali) later the name Tenkali replaced by Chengali and then to current name Chengalamma. Then the village formed around this temple and named it as Chengali Peta. During the British ruling, they changed the name to Sullurpeta.

However, there is another version of Sullurpeta, people residing since ages used to say that, at the time of Brahmotsavam which happens once in 7 seven, during this time &quot;Sudimanu&quot; will round around the Temple hence this place is called as Sullurpeta.

This temple was built by the people from Balija caste so they are performing Nithya Archana to the Goddess and the ritual follows.

The interesting story associated with Chengalamma Temple Sullurpeta

400 years back, villagers tried to build the door for the temple, at that time Goddess appeared in their dream and instructed them that she is here to give blessings to the pilgrims at all times, hence the trials for making doors&nbsp;should be&nbsp;withdrawn and temple should be opened for 24 hours. By following Goddess instructions, the villagers left the temple opened&nbsp;for 24 hours.

Chengalamma Thalli and her Idol in the temple faces the sea. Goddess Chengalamma has enormous powers, ISRO scientists visit Sri Chengalamma Parameswara for blessings before launching any satellite.

&nbsp;

Varnam

&nbsp;

The most intriguing aspect of the idol, the left-hand portion of the goddess depicts Parvati, the right-hand portion depicts Saraswati and the central portion depicts Sri Mahalakshmi. These features are the reason for the name&nbsp; Trikale Chengali . The Chola Pandita&#39;s were renowned for creating the idols of the goddess.

Her icon here depicts an eight-armed form each holding a powerful weapon in a standing posture over the demon the elaborate and the incomparable aesthetics, thought that the Goddess was not only goddess Parvati, but also Mahakali.

Around the 10th century, the Chola Dynasty who ruled the region during that time, built a small hut to Sri Chengalamma by learning about the goddess, who originated in the Kalangi River.

At initial, the goddess was called&nbsp; &prime;Tenkali (Dakshina Kali)&prime; , later by&nbsp; &prime;Chengali&prime; &nbsp;and then to present name Chengalamma.
