Goddess Saraswathi, in a penance performing posture, confers Her blessings on this world as the prime deity, only in this temple. 

A beautiful three eyed form, with one leg folded in a yogasana pattern, is a feast for the eyes. Another special feature is that there is no veena in Ambal’s hands in the prime deity.

She is a seated on a white lotus, attired in white silk. She symbolizes Her inherent presence in studies, having a palm script in Her hands. The other hand has the ‘Chinmudra’, blessing devotees. Another hand has the ‘Akshamala’, signifying penance. The fourth palm has the nectar pot, conferring happiness and spiritual bliss to devotees. 

With Her benevolent smile and eyes, She has Her third eye giving us the highest form of spiritual knowledge. 

In short, She gives all who worship Her absolute bliss while giving us education, knowledge, intelligence and welfare.

It is learnt, that this place was known as “Ambalpuri”, about 1000years ago, even before poet Ottakoothan was born. So, history has it that Goddess Saraswathi did Her penance towards Lord Brahma and conferred Her blessings on Her devotees for ages. 

Devotees offer their puja with lovely flowers that are known to be acceptable to the Goddess.
