Charles asks…
Which two temples in India have the same deity at different times?
I have heard this temple legend long ago and do not remember which temple now. It is said that Goddess deity of one temple after the pooja leaves for another temple in another state and presides over the pooja. It is also said that the latter temple has three forms of goddess worshiped at three different times of the day in the same idol and sanctum. Does any one know more about this? I only remember that these are South Indian temples. Your inputs please.

I think you are talking about the cross over temple legend connecting the Mookambika temple in Kollur, Karnataka and the Chottanikkara Temple in Tripunithara, Kerala. Mookambika temple has Goddess Saraswati as the presiding deity and Chottanikkara Temple has three Godesses worshipped at different times, Saraswati in the morning, Bhadrakali at noon and Durga in the evening. Another important deity in the upper complex is Vishnu as ‘Laxminarayanan’. The lower complex is dedicated to Bhadrakaali as ‘Keezhkaavu Bhagawathy’ and is supposed to be one of the most powerful deities in the country. A lot of mentally unstable and insane people visit the Keezhkavu Bhagawathy temple to seek blessing of Bhadrakaali. It is said that witnessing the kumkumaabhishekam of the Goddess here can remove all signs of madness and mental issues of the devotees. Temple legends are connected with the Advaitam saint Sri Sankaracharya who invited Saraswati to come to a place in Kerala as Goddess and dispel ignorance among the people. The Goddess obliged on a condition that she will follow him and meanwhile Sankara should not look back in doubt. Somewhere in between Sankara, not hearing the footsteps of the Goddess looked back and found the Devi to be present behind him. The Goddess then said that she will not come any forward and asked him to built a sanctum for her right there. That temple in between is the Kollur Mookambika temple. On the request of Sankaracharya, the Goddess agreed to come to Chottanikkara in the morning as Saraswati. So after the night pooja at Mookambika, the Goddess leaves for Chottanikara for the morning pooja. It is only after the morning pooja of Chottanikara, that the Sanctum of Mookambika Temple is opened for devotees. Interesting….isnt it?
Lizzie asks…
In Dungeons and Dragons, who is the deity that desires you to kill ugly things?
I’m trying to figure out what deity to give my cleric for my evil campaign, and I want the woman that wishes the destruction of all things ugly. Does anyone remember who she is?
I would like an actual answer rather than being sent on a hunt through a wiki page. I’m tired and my eyes are missing things. Also she’s in 3.5e.

Susan asks…
I know of the Deity move but does the military pay for a spouse to move to an others spouse’s location?
Im in the military and I know about the deity move, but I want to know if the military pays for my spouse to relocate to my location?

Only for a PCS Acompanied. If for instance, you are already stationed somewhere and you get married, than no, the military will NOT pay to move your new spouse there.
BTW, It’s DITY, not deity.
