Vekkali Amman Temple is located in Woraiyur in Tiruchirappalli City. The important aspect of this Amman Temple is that it doesn't have a Roof-Top over the Main Deity. Hence whether its Rain or Sunshine She Blesses everyone without any discrimination. Vekkali was worshipped by the Chola kings. Here Devotees write their demands or wishes on a sheet of paper, place it at the feet of Ambal(Amman) and then tie it at a ‘Soolam’ (trident) at the Sannidhi. Devotees complete their worship after their wishes are fulfilled. Actually Woraiyur was the capital of Cholas and most likely entire Trichy was only Woraiyur during the Chola period. But today Woraiyur is just one area within Trichy city. The Amma here is considered to be one of the most powerful ever and hence there is always a heavy congregation of Devotees on any given day.
