Parvathy Mookkan Thangavel comes to Naattukottai Nagaraththar New Kathiresan Temple on Tuesdays,Thursdays and Fridays for fortune telling.

Parvathy Mookkan Thangavel (75) has been a fortune teller since she was ten year-old girl. "Fortune telling has been my family job. I learnt it from my mother. I have traveled with my mother around the country as a young girl.

I am very old and feel lonely now. I have nobody to take care of me. I found temple is the best place to read palms and tell fortune for people. I earn Rs.500 as my daily average income.
