Muthumaari Amman is a popular deity in South India, particularly Tamil Nadu and Kerala, revered as the goddess of rain and fertility. Devotees believe that worshipping her can bring relief from diseases and ensure agricultural prosperity.
The presence of Shiva and Parvati within the temple complex symbolizes the union of Purusha (male principle) and Prakriti (female principle) in Hindu cosmology. Devotees often worship the divine couple seeking blessings for marital harmony, family prosperity, and spiritual growth.
