Kollangudi is a small village which is located on the Madurai Thondi National Highway close to Kalaiyaar Kovil In Sivaganga District. This Temple is supposed to have been built in the 18th Century and is located admist a paddy field. The Presiding Deity is Sri Vettudayar Kaali Amman. It is believed that Queen Velu Nachiyar hid here in this place when escaping from the Britishers. That time a small girl called Udayal saved Queen Velu Nachiyar and did not reveal the truth to the British soliders. Hence the small girl Udayal was maimed and cut to pieces by the savage British soliders. She lost her life but saved her Queen Velu Nachiyar from the evil hands of the British Rulers. Hence this Temple was built in remembrance of the small girl Udayal and named after Vettudayar Kaliamman. 

In recent days  a Welcome Arch has been erected and leading to the Temple. There is a huge metallic Dwajasthambam or Kodi Maram facing the Sanctum Sanctorum. There are Sub Shrines for Vinayakar and Murugan. There is a Shrine for Ayyanar and His Consorts Poorna and Pushkala. This Temple underwent several changes at several points of time. A huge tinned roofing has come up now where Annadhanam is done regularly on all important days. The Temple has a huge Sacred Tank or Pushkarani which is known as Kollangudi Kaali Theertham and several Devotees make it a habit to have a holy dip here since it is believed to get rid of their past sins. The Sthala Viruksham is a Eacha Maram. There is a firm belief in and around this place that the Presiding Deity is merciless and ruthless when it comes to punishing the evil and sinners. Therefore many local Devotees and also few others from distant places visit this Temple and offer money and Pray to Her to punish the evil who had cheated them. Panguni festival and Aadi Perukku are celebrated in a grand manner attracting lots of Devotees.
