This temple, located in Tirukarugavoor, in the state of Tamil Nadu, is a very important temple. Standing in a very serene, beautiful spot, this temple is dedicated to Goddess Parvati. The name Garbharakshambikai means 'Goddess who protects the child in the womb'. Legend has it that Parvati was approached by a distraught woman who was expecting a child, but had been unjustly cursed, so that her baby would be deformed. The Goddess immediately agreed to protect the embryo till it was born, and fulfilled her promise. The Goddess is always compassionate towards those who want to conceive, and towards women who are already expecting. This is why couples perform puja at this temple when they find that they cannot conceive. It is very evident that the Goddess really does help devotees who perform poojas for her. In the small town where the temple is situated, it has been seen that no woman has ever had problems related to conception, pregnancy or child birth. All children born there are energetic and healthy. Childless couples who have faith in the Goddess can also benefit in the same way, and in time, they will be blessed with a child. All it takes is a simple puja, which the couple can perform themselves, or have performed on their behalf. When the couple is indeed blessed with a child, through the benevolence of the Goddess, the couple must go back to the temple to thank her for her limitless kindness. Every day, many such happy couples visit the temple to thank the Goddess, which should give hope to others who are visiting the temple, too.
