Mariamman Idol

A Devi idol brings the protective presence of the Mother Goddess into the home mandir. These idols are central to Navratri, Durga Puja and regional amman festivals.

You can order the Mariamman Idol online from Poduvals, or see it in person at our Bengaluru store.

Each piece is cast and finished by hand by traditional artisans, so small variations in detail and tone make every piece unique.

Where to keep it and how to use it

Place the idol in the pooja room, ideally facing east or north. Navratri is the main festival for worship of the Goddess.

Care

Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after pooja. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. A gentle polish with tamarind paste or a mild metal cleaner brings back the shine; after abhishekam, rinse and dry it fully.
