This ornamental piece, sometimes known as Amman Mugam, evokes the potent and kind presence of Goddess Amman in rituals and ceremonies.
♦ Origins and Historical Importance:
The use of carved amman mugam, particularly of Amman (a form of Goddess Shakti), has been a long-standing custom in Tamil Nadu and other regions of South India. In the past, village temples frequently employed stone-carved face set idols because complete statues weren't always practical. Originally made of terracotta, these ornamental items gradually evolved into stone sculptures to symbolize commitment, permanence, and endurance.
♦ The Amman Mugam is extremely well-liked in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka, especially during festivals like Navaratri, Amman Kovil Thiruvizha, and Aadi Thiruvizha. During local festivals honoring Mariamman, Kali, Durga, or Bhavani Amman, these face sets are frequently decorated with flowers, kumkum, turmeric, and silken cloths.
♦ Ritual and practical uses:
Most often, the amman face set is used in seasonal ceremonies or transient altars where entire idols are not necessary. It is coupled with symbolic objects such thoranams, kalasams, and pooja lights, and mounted on an ornate wooden board or framework. Sandal paste, kumkum, and wreaths are common adornments for the face. Devotees conduct abhishekam and deepa aradhana, beseeching the divine for favors.
♦ Preservation and Maintenance:
When not in use, the amman mugam should be stored in a dry, clean environment to preserve its luster. Put the decorative item in a cushioned container or wrap it in cotton fabric. To prevent surface dullness, avoid exposure to moisture or intense sunlight. Its natural stone shine will be maintained by regular dusting and periodic light cleaning with a soft cloth.
♦ This amman face is intimately linked to Goddess Shakti in her formidable and protective forms, such as Durga, Kali, Mariamman, and Bhadrakali. It is particularly auspicious during Navaratri, when the divine feminine is honored in many ways over the course of nine nights. During transient or mobile configurations, temples and houses employ such face sets to represent the goddess's presence.
♦ Legend has it that during epidemics or droughts, people would frequently call upon the deity by using symbolic representations such face set or masks created of stone. It is thought that having this kind of amman mugam will result in protection, fertility, rainfall, and good health. These objects are kept in pooja rooms by worshipers even now in order to receive ongoing blessings.
