Guest guest Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Namaste: I came across this rather lovely picture on ExoticIndianArts.com, and was rather struck by it: http://www.exoticindia.com/product/WE66/ Does anyone know which Goddess this is? In her four hands the Devi holds a Snake/Drum/Rattle (Damaru?) (Upper Right), A Trident (Upper Left), a Dagger or Sword (Lower Right), and container with reddish powder (vermillion?) (Lower Left). From the style of the picture, I would say the Devi is of South Indian origin, but I'm not an expert. I await to hear from the group.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 It looks to me like Mariamman, a South Indian (Tamil?) mother-goddess associated with causing (or removing) various diseases. Nora has visited a Mariamman temple in Kuala Lumpur.

She comes in various names : Karumariamman/Karumari, Muthumariamman, and tbe most popular of which is Samayapuram Mariamman. A village deity originally from South India have been growing in popularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
