  Mariamman is the goddess of rain, and she is very popular in South India. In Tamil, one of the many languages of India, 'mari' means rain, referring to her association with rain. But 'mari' also means change, referring to her changing forms into many other gods. She is also the god of diseases. During the summer months in South India, in March to June, people walk miles carrying pots of water mixed with turmeric and neem leaves to ward off illnesses like measles and chicken pox.
