Mugamariamman Sculpture

Mari also known as Mariamman and Mariaai, both meaning Mother Mari, spelt also Maariamma, or simply Amman or Aatha.
Her worship mainly focuses on bringing rains and curing diseases like cholera, smallpox, and chicken pox.
Worship methods such as pongal and koozh that are cooked using earthen pots are also made during the festive season.
Mari is generally portrayed in the sitting or standing position, often holding a trident (trisula) in one hand and a bowl (kapala) in the other. One of her hands may display a mudra, usually the abhaya mudra, to ward off fear.
