Kateri Amman

Kateri Amman, also abbreviated to Kateri, is a Tamil guardian deity associated with protecting specific towns and villages. Her worship originates in the Dravidian folk religion and Tamil folklore and later assimilated into mainstream Hinduism as a form of Parvati. Some of her adherents also regard her to be a form of Mahadevi, tasked with the responsibility of destroying sicknesses during the Kali Yuga. The goddess is often depicted with her consort, Munishvaran.
