### Legend of the temple

The legend has it that, in the ancient past, two Sages (Rishies) by name Gowthama and Gargeya did penance here, called Mullai Vanam (Jasmine Forest) A couple by name "Nidhruva" and "Vedikai" lived in the same Ashramam, and they had no children. They were advised by the Sages to worship the God and then their prayers were answered. Vedhikai conceived. Once during her pregnancy, a Rishi (Sage) named Urdhvapada came and asked for food. As Vedhikai was unconscious that time, she couldn't hear him. Enraged by this, the Sage cursed her. Her foetus disintegrated and came out (abortion). She prayed to the Goddess who then protected the foetus till it developed into a male child, Naidhruvan.
Vedhikai then prayed to the Goddess that She (the Goddess) should remain in that place and help all women and their foetus. Hence the Goddess is called Garbha Rakshambikai (The Benevolent One Who Protects the Fetus).
Vedhikai had no breast milk to feed the child and the Goddess sent Kamadhenu (the Celestial Cow) to this place to feed the child. Kamadhenu scratched the earth with her hoof and milk fetched out in plenty and formed a milk tank. This tank still exists and is called Ksheerakundam.
The Lord is called Mullaivana Nathar and is a swayambu (self-manifested) The Linga is made up of anthill mud.
Women whose marriages are delayed, or those who don't have any children flock this temple in their thousands and pray to the Garbha Rakshambikai amman and their prayers are answered. Those who are pregnant also come here and pray for easy and safe delivery.
Those who don't have children come here and offer a bottle of ghee which is placed at the feet of the Amman. Charged with manthras, this ghee should be eaten by the couple daily for 48 days. They will be blessed with child.
The pregnant women should offer a bottle of castor oil which will be placed at the feet of the Amman. This special oil when smeared on their abdomen to have easy and safe delivery.

# Aras River Valley

The Aras River Valley is a narrow region that marks Iran's northern border with Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Nakhchivan. The Aras River Valley boasts castles, tombs, stepped villages, and breathtaking mountain scenery, and all of this devoid of tourists. It makes an interesting day trip hiring a taxi to travel along the valley between Jolfa and Kaleybar stopping at places along the way.

## Get in
### By taxi

Due to how remote this region is, the most logical form of transport to the Aras River Valley would be a taxi to either Jolfa or Kaleybar (not it's not in the valley, it can be used as an end point) from Tabriz. It is also possible to take a bus to Ahar and then taxi to Kaleybar.

### By foot

You can enter the Iranian border town of Jolfa from Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan, crossing the bridge on foot (with a pre-arranged visa).

### By train

There are trains to the border town of Jolfa, on the west of the valley, but check exact timings as these are not frequent.

## Get around

To travel along the valley you will need a taxi. Between Jolfa and Kaleybar stopping at the sites below, the journey should take 6-8 hours including lunch, so it pays to start early, especially in winter.
A taxi from Kaleybar to Jolfa or vice versa including multiple stops for the day should cost approximately 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 rials.

## See

The Aras River Valley can be traveled east to west (Kaleybar to Jolfa) or west to east (Jolfa to Kaleybar) in a day. In addition to this there are also a few sites that can be visited in half a day to the west of Jolfa.

### From Kaleybar to Jolfa (east to west)

* Khofaafarin bridge and abandoned village
* Qarachilar stepped village

### West of Jolfa

## Stay safe

The entire Aras River is an international border. There are multiple police forts and military installations. Do not take photographs of anything military related as well as border crossings and be careful of what you are taking pictures of in other places (especially at Khofaafarin Bridge).

## Go next

* Armenia: The border crossing is in the town of Norduz. Visa is on arrival for most nationalities.
* Azerbaijan: The border crossing is in the town of Jolfa and eVisas are easy to organise in advance (normal - 2 days, and urgent 3-5 hr). The border crossing is with the autonomous exclave of Nakhchivan, from where you can fly to Baku or Ganja.
* Tabriz: You can get a minibus or taxi to Tabriz from Kaleybar or Jolfa.
