In Sri Lankan and South Indian Hinduism, Goddess Mariamman is a well-known divinity who is especially beloved in the Tamil-speaking areas. As the goddess of rain, fertility, and illness prevention, she is revered. Goddess Mariamman is frequently shown with a red visage, crown, and snakes on her furious countenance. She is holding a trident, a bowl of rice, and a branch of neem, among other symbolic objects.
Worshippers seek Goddess Mariamman's blessings to ensure fertility and agricultural prosperity, as well as protection from diseases like chickenpox and smallpox. In South India and Sri Lanka, there are many Mariamman Kovils, her temples, where followers pray, carry out rites, and take part in celebrations honouring her.
