Pechayiamman Temple, Klang

I’ve decided to close down my other blog about exotic temples and combine it together over here in Ragedindian.com. This is due to millions of hits I’ve been receiving for the other blog and I guess closing it down would bring the millions of hits to RagedIndian.com instead. I would talk about all the temples that I’ve visited one by one in the coming weeks. I would also elaborate further on the visits that I’ve made since what I’ve talked in the Exotic Temples is very brief.

I would start of with one of my favorite temple visit :

————————————-

This temple is located on the hillside of the Andalas Indian cemetery, Klang .It’s a 5 minutes drive from the Klang General Hospital. We have to walk through  Indian cemetery but lucky us , we went in the afternoon. So, it was not quite as scary. I’ve been to this temple a few time before this, and it was during my schooling days.  I’ve seen people getting possessed or being in trance in this temple, one of them being my old friend. This happened years back during my schooling days.

I fell in love with one of the statue here which I believe , is quite rare. Further check with my grandmother showed that this statue is that of Pechi ‘Patti’ , also known as Pechayiamman. I can’t confirm this, but according to her who had been worshiping Amman ever since she started praying, it seems most likely she knows ‘things’.

There is this huge Kaliamman statue as well, while Pechayiamman statue is on the other side of the temple. One look at her, and you can’t deny the fact how beautiful she looks like. I’ve very devoted to Goddess Durga , and each of her ‘other’ version is just outstanding and remarkable.  Take a look at the pictures:

On the way, you have to pass by the cemetery:

Below is the main temple (Kaliamman Temple):

Below is Pechayiamman Temple :

Kaliamman Statue : This is quite a huge statue, most likely around 250 cm tall.

Below is exactly what is on the opposite of Kaliamman statue : It’s Sanggali Karuppan

And here comes the ultimate beauty :

This is Pechi Patti aka Pechayiamman:

And I would give you a close up :

Feel free to share if you have additional details or what do you think about the temple.

    Holla,

    I have been to this temple last year though i was asked not to go as its situated after the Indian cemetery.Hehehe..Anyway, i am also a exotic temple hunter as well. You should visit more temples such as Suddukadhu Kali Temple in Taiping, Muniswaran temple in Chemor, another Kali temple nearby Ipoh Airport to name a few..A must go temple in Sg Siput Kali temple. You will enjoy the trip for sure :)

    Heard this fr my Klang frens.. not exactly 100% but u will get the gist of it.

    apparently one of them went there (no idea why), part of that temple ground was covered with cloth & he has to stand naked in there (no idea why again.some kinda ritual?). moments later, strong winds came and he heard some noises. when he was done, he saw fresh footsteps outside..
    i will update here again once i get the actual story.

    actually among the god, pechi is the most powerful as she have the power (by giving baby).She is the one who take care the baby while in the womb, so we should respect her as she is the mother of pregnancy

    Dr. Black : If any of the guys here can let me know the location, I would love to pay a visit soon. The sooner I get the address, the earlier I can update here.

    Those who possess the body of a devotee are not Gods but servants of Gods.

    One must first learn to respect the diversity of folk Hinduism before commenting about the concept of ONE GOD or scriptures.

    The Pechi Paati statue is very beautiful. I think it will be only wise for us to love her than to fear her because of her looks.

    After all, she wouldn’t want her children to be afraid of her.

    Hello there everyone. I have been an exotic temple hunter for the past four years.. There is a temple in Batu Lintang Estate, in Serdang, Kedah. This temple is a Naga Amma temple and the speciality is the Naga Amma will be lying in front of you and she is white is colour. You can serve milk and she will drink the milk at your presence.

    Anyway, Nitz.. can you please tell me the directions to the Suddukadhu Kali Temple in Taiping, Muniswaran temple in Chemor, another Kali temple nearby Ipoh Airport . Will be very thankful. Thanks and OmShakthi.
