Description
English: "Mariamman, sits in lalitasana on a throne. Around the throne is a metal frame culminating in a kirttimukha mask. Tongues of fire emanate from her head and shoulders, and two small fangs protrude from her mouth. In her upper right hand she carries a damaru (hourglass shaped drum), for which a cobra coiled around it serves as a handle. She holds a trishula (trident) in her upper left hand, a long sword in her lower right and a kapala (cup/alms bowl) in her lower left. A five-headed cobra rises above her crown."
