Trichy: Devotees Throng Samayapuram Temple For Kumbabhishekam ...The Samayapuram Mariamman temple, dedicated to the goddess Mariamman, is a significant religious site in Tamil Nadu, known for its unique construction and practices. The main deity is made of sand and clay, and no abhishekams (sacred washings) are performed on it, unlike most Hindu deities. Instead, these rituals are conducted on a small stone idol in front of the main deity. The temple is especially popular on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, and devotees offer various items like mavilakku (a sweet dish) and silver or steel replicas of body parts they wish to be cured.
