Goddess Mariamman is considered by many to be the South Indian Incarnation of Goodess Kali.

The worshiping methods for Amman are typically non-vedic (meaning non-brahmin priests would perform the poojas ) and followed by various folk dancing.

Also some devotees of Goddess Amman would perform fire-walking rituals.

During some festive seasons, it is very common to have mouth or nose pierced along with fire-walking ritutals.

Typically the family deity worshiping runs for generation-after-generation.

Before beginning any important under-taking or family occasions such as Marriages, Child-Births, Baby Naming function, Puberty functions, etc., families visit their kula-deivam to get the blessings.

Amman is portrayed with many arms (usually 2 or 4) representing her many powers.

Amman is mostly portrayed in sitting position, some in standing position and sometimes just the head only on the ground (e.g., Solai mariamman).

One of her hands displays a mudra, usually the abhaya mudra (which wards off fear).

Amman has two types of faces one displaying her pleasant nature and the other displaying her terrifying face with fangs and a wild mane hair.
