Story Of Goddess Mariamman (AKA Sheetala Devi - Mogal Mata - Olai Chandi)

Story Of Goddess Mariamman The goddess Mariamman is often referred to as Amman. She is worshiped in various locations in South India, especially in the regions of Deccan and Tamil Nadu. During the late summer and autumn season, her festivals are held, the largest being the Ādi Thiruviḻa. . The main focus of her worship is on bringing rain and curing diseases, such as chicken pox and cholera. The Mariamman is regarded as a righteous and benevolent deity by the people of South India. She is also regarded as a guardian of the people.In northern India, Shitala Devi is worshiped in a similar way, predominantly by the Rajput/Kshatriya community. Shitala has a legend and plays a similar role in protecting villages from diseases. Mariamman has since been associated with Hindu goddesses like Parvati, Kali, Durga, as well as with her northern Indian counterpart Shitala Devi, her eastern Indian counterpart, Olai Chandi, and her western Indian counterpart of Mogal Mata. Mariamman is usually pictured as a beautiful young woman with a red-hued face, wearing a red or yellow dress. Mariamman 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. Sometimes she is portrayed with many arms—representing her many powers—but in most representations she has only two or four. She may be represented with two demeanours—one displaying her pleasant nature, and the other her terrifying aspect, with fangs and a wild mane of hair. The Goddess Mariamman is believed to be an incarnation of the eternal Shakti as the divine mother is portrayed as cosmic energy in its dynamic form. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Please Like, Share and Subscribe our videos.** Press the bell button to stay notified about our new videos! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music Credits: Wheel Of Karma by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...
