History
Arulmigu Sri Mariamman Temple, Samayapuram is an ancient Hindu temple located in the Tiruchirappalli district of Tamil Nadu, India. The main deity, Samayapuram Mariamman, is a form of Adi Parashakti and Mariamman. Unlike many traditional stone idols, the main deity is constructed from sand and clay infused with medicinal herbs. Due to the delicate nature of these materials, traditional abhishekams are not performed on the main deity; instead, they are conducted on a small stone statue placed in front of it.

The deity is considered as the most powerful Goddess.
