Samayapuram was a local capital of the Vijayanagar rulers in the vicinity of Tiruchirappalli, and was known as Vikramapuram. Mariamman is believed to be a form of Kaali, and is also known as Mahamaayi or Seethala Gowri. Having originated from the Kaalakoota poison, she assumed the name Kaali. Legend has it that Shiva created Kali, out of the poison that he had swallowed, and decreed that he kill Daarukaasuran. Local beliefs associate this deity with cures for diseases such as small pox and chicken pox. Mariamman is a form of Shakti worshipped in Tamilnadu, and is associated with prosperity and health. Local variations of the worship of Shakti, the mother Goddess are seen throughout the Indian subcontinent. The Maariamman Temple at Samayapuram in the vicinity of Tiruchirappalli (see below), is one of the well visited shrines in Tamilnadu, dedicated to Maariamman, a manifestation of the primeval energy Shakti as the mother Goddess.
