Mariamman in her sanctums in Tamil Nadu and other regions of India and world for her devotees is the supreme mother, Adishakti, in whom the fierceness of Kali and beauty of Parvati unite.

In this beautiful granite statue, goddess Mariamman appears as a heavenly female, seated on a two-tiered lotus pedestal in Lalitasana pose, with her delicate dhoti exquisitely detailed, its gather and folds intricately sculpted.

Perfection in the ornamentation of the supreme mother is visible in the regal crown of Mariamman, her, jeweled necklaces, Chanavira or criss-cross torso ornament, Kuchabandha or breastband, and bejweled waistbelt- all traditional ornaments according to the texts of Hindu iconography.

While Mariamman carries divine weapons, her haloed face carries an oceanic calm, marking the goddess as the embodiment of the fiery supreme wisdom or Chidagni.
