Devi Bagavati at senganoor

Yaa devi sarva boodeshu sraddha roopena samsthitha |
Namasthasyei Namasthasyei Namasthasyei namo namaha || 

Bagavathy Devi temple in senganoor is a holy devi sthal. A skin piece with blood from the larynx in the neck of Dakshayani fell in this place. Hence it became one of the 51 devi's abodes. (refer to 'Yoga-agni' in 'Abodes of devi' for background story) This place was called "Raktha-parvadham"(Red hills) but now it is known as 'Senganoor'(in malayalam language) Legend: Devi bagavathi's temple is in the center of Senganoor.This goddess name is 'Raktha malliga' consort name is 'Ratnamallaswerer' This place is also known as Dhakshina-kailash. In side of this temple there is a raised stone platform.
This kind of thing one can not see any of other temples in Kerala.The south side of this platform there was another stone platform but now it is sunk into the earth. If one do the tower darshan standing on that stone it is said all kind of his desires will be fulfilled.
There is an importent message is this devi every month having menstruation like humanbeings. All that three days there will be colesed the temple. The forth day there will be a grand festivel in this temple if one would take that prasadam to their house there is a bellef that very luky and also there will be cured all the deceases like fits etc.
Another legend has it that Kannagi of the epic Silapadi-garam fame after her husband's unjust execution by the Pandiya king very angrily destroyed the kingdom of Madurai and also killed the king. She also burnt the whole city of Madurai except cows,elderly people, and children.Then she went to senganoor to do penance.In that place where Kannagi did 'thapas' the King Seran-Senguttuvan constructed a temple and named the goddess 'Sengamalli'
Any one going there and worshipping Devi Bhagavathy will have a prosperous and disease-free life.
