The Adi Shakti, the primordial mother is revered under many names in the Hindu religious tradition.
In the Southern states, among many forms, she is often worshipped as Mariamman- the goddess of rain in the literal sense, but also as a folk incarnation of the mighty Durga.
Mariamman is connected with numerous South Indian feminine deities such as Renuka, Parvati, and Kali; in a simple way, she is the manifestation of the protective powers of the supreme mother.
This granite stone statue presents Mariamman in a majestic roopa, haloed by the fire of inner consciousness, wearing an elongated crown and exquisite ornaments.
The dexterity and devoted attention of the sculptor to his art can be seen on the countenance of the goddess Mariamman, which despite being carved in a material as hard as granite, shows signs of divine animation in the beautiful arch of her brows, perfect lotus eyes and inwardly smiling lips. Radiating an auspicious aura, Mariamman in this representation wraps the ambiance in the embrace of her divine motherliness.
