History & tradition
Samayapuram Mariamman Temple is in the Tiruchirappalli district of Tamil Nadu. The goddess, a form of Adi Parashakti, is unusual in that her image is made of sand and clay mixed with medicinal herbs rather than carved in stone. For this reason no abhishekam is performed on the main image; the ritual bathing is offered instead to a small stone image placed before it. Devotees offer mavilakku, a lamp made of rice flour, jaggery and ghee, and also raw salt and neem leaves.
