The deity
The Chief deity of this temple is Bhadrakaali, the bringer of all good fortune and destroyer of all evil. Endowed with the Trident(Trishul) and sword, variously she is depicted in pictures as weilding the Discuss too(the Sree Chakra). Thus she could be depicted as both Shivite and Vaishnavite. While facing North, in the manner of Ammans from Tamil origins, she is also considered as the bringer of good fortune (as North is considered the direction of Sree).
