'''Karungal''' is a [[panchayat town]] in [[Kanniyakumari district]] in the [[India]]n [[States and territories of India|state]] of [[Tamil Nadu]]. Karungal is the localized name of this town from the word "Karingai" which was again derived from "Tharum kai".Tharumkai Bhagavathy Amman temple is a very ancient temple situated in Karungal on the roadside of Karungal-Chellamkonam road. Originally Tharumgai Bhagavathy Amman Temple was situated on the top of Karingai Malai,a hillock situated near Karingai.Still we can see traces of stone slabs and building materials of this old temple on the top of Karingaimalai. Legend has it that in due course of time, due to difficulty for an old aged women to have dharshan of Bhagavathy at top of Karingaimalai, Tharungai Bhagavathy descended and settled in the plain near Karungal town.
