Ghanta Matam
As mentioned in “Skanda Purana” this very ancient Mutt with a deep well inside is named after Sri Siddheswara who is said to have resided in this Matt along with other gifted sages (Siddha purusha) and performed penance worshipping Lord Shiva.
On certain special occasions Goddess Koumari Devi, one of the seven divine Goddesses, special prayers are still being offered and religious celebrations are held to mark the occasion to seek her divine blessings.
It is believed for ages that who ever could worship with Abhisekam (ritual poring) entire night of certain auspicious days with water taken from the well, is sure to acquire such divine mystic power with which one can fly in the air and blessed with ‘Vayu Gamana Sakthi’.
