Temple with no doors .....Yes, you read it right. This is one temple where the main sanctum santorium temple doors are not there. There is a mythological story behind this. On the national highways, borders of Tamilnadu and Andhrapradesh, you will find a beautiful incarnation of Mahishasura Mardhini in Shantharupam guarding the travellers and passers by.
She is said to be a manifestation of thridevis.
In search of our Kuladeivam, some years ago, after connecting various dots lefts by our ancestors and set of astrologers
, we landed up in this temple. We were equally surprised that the temple is run by the community of Balija Chettiars, and the priests are also from that kith n kin. Not too inclined on the caste system, but at the same time was bit surprised how kulasamies come from those places our ancestors worshipped for ages and left behind their goodwill of good deeds to befall on upcoming generations...

The significance of the place is the power of the goddess you will feel, the kind of energies that engulf you, if you believe in her, she shows you the way, she guides you through, she holds you from falling, she lifts you up in the most unexpected ways. That is Sri Chengalama Parameshwari for you. Maa thali 
She also has strong connect to ISRO n India space missions....as scientists make it her abode before every big launch
