Mariamman, the Tamil goddess revered as a form of the supreme goddess or Adi Shakti, is presented in this beautiful granite statue with attributes of Kali and Durga, symbolizing her supremacy as the divine protectress.
The goddess sits on a throne in a regal pose, with her dangling leg rooted on the head of the buffalo demon or Mahishasura- a feature associated with the images of Durga as “Mahishasura-Vijaya Durga”.
In her hands, Mariamman holds the trident, sword, cup, and the gesture of Abhaya-removing fears.
The ornamentation of the goddess- her rising crown, intricate jewelry, and beautiful garment with its delicate folds etched perfectly in the hardness of granite, are nothing in comparison to her tranquil yet animated expressions, that infuse the atmosphere with an announcement of the presence of its divine guardian mother.
