@modernmythsnet | event thirty-nine | weather| natural ↳ mariamman
the south indian hindu goddess of rain, predominant in the rural areas of tamil nadu and karnataka. her festivals are held during the late summer/early autumn season of "aadi."
"A mural on the wall of a Tamil Nadu temple dedicated to Mariamman (a local designation of Durga meaning "The Great Mother" in the south) depicts the Goddess in her horrific form of Bhadrakali, disemboweling evil in the guise of a beautiful woman while trampling a handsome male demon. Though the apparent violence of this image may disturb the uninitiated, the mother who placed her beloved baby girl beneath it clearly does not feel it poses a threat. Instead, she believes that the Goddess is maternal and benevolent. When beseeched for help, Mariamman will direct her divine anger to protect this infant."
