Goddess Mariamman, “an ethereal embodiment of grace and power, manifests in this mesmerising bronze creation. Seated in Lalitasana on a lotus pedestal with Prabhavali Arch, She radiates divine energy. The word “Mari” has the Sangam Tamil origin meaning “Rain”, and the Dravidian root term Amman means “Mother”. Ancient Tamils revered Mariamman as the bestower of rain, ensuring prosperity through bountiful harvests. Adorned in regal attire, her upper hands wield a Damaru coiled with a serpent and a trident (Trishul), symbols of cosmic rhythm and power.
A sword and a bowl (Kapala) in her lower hands signify protection and transformation. A five-hooded serpent’s embrace forms a celestial umbrella (Chattra), weaving a tapestry of mystical significance, heralding life’s abundance. In this divine form, Marriamman signifies the harmonious dance of creation, destruction, and the cyclical rhythm of life.
