ARULMIGU SAMAYAPURAM MARIAMMAN TEMPLE KUMBHABHISHEKAM INVITATION

Samayapuram Mariamman Temple is a Hindu temple in Samayapuram near Tiruchirappalli in Tamil Nadu, India. The main deity, Samayapurathal or Mariamman is made of sand and clay like many of the traditional Mariamman deities, and hence unlike many other Hindu deities there are no abhishekams (sacred washing) conducted to the main deity, but instead the "abishekam" is done to the small stone statue in front of it.

ARULMIGU SAMAYAPURAM MARIAMMAN

It is believed by the devotees that the Goddess has enormous powers over curing illnesses and hence, it is a ritual to buy small metallic replicas, made with silver or steel, of various body parts that need to be cured, and these are deposited in the donation box.

Jeeranodhanara Ashtabandhana Mahakumbhabhishekam of Samayapuram Mariamman will take place on 06-02-2017 (Monday) . Time is in between 6 am to 7.25 am.
