The powerful Jwalamukhi Tripurasundari Temple is the temple of the sister of Goddess Chamundeshwari. Its located at the foothills of Chamundi Hills, Mysore
TEMPLE STORY :
In the "Devi Mahatme" in the episode of the killing of asura Raktabeeja.
Raktabeejasura was not to be easily defeated as any drop of blood from his body on the ground would create a new similar Raktabeejasura thus making him invincible.
Devi Chamundi kept slaying him but more would get created.
Even as Chamundi Devi was fighting Raktabeejasura, he cunningly hid inside a Buffalo. Chamundi searched for him everywhere. Sweat covered her brows. She wiped the sweat with her hand shook it on the ground.
From this sweat drop, a female form took birth and said “I am your younger sister URIMARI. I will spread my tongue all over and drink Rakta Bheej’s blood. You fight and kill him”.
Encouraged by this, intensified her search and stared at the Buffalo.
Her burning eyes caused the Buffalo to split into 2 and the demon hiding inside came out.
Chamundi seared his head and Urimari drank all the blood. It was the end of the Demon
Chamundi was thankful to her sister URIMARI and asked her to reside at the foothills of Chamundi Hills where she is called Jwalamukhi amma.
