The brass idol in the image is a depiction of Amman, a common term in South India for the Divine Mother Goddess. Given the snake canopy over her head, it is highly likely to be Karumari Amman (also known as Sri Karumariamman or simply Mariamman), a very popular and powerful regional form of the Mother Goddess, especially in Tamil Nadu. She is widely worshipped for protection, fertility, healing,

Pooja (Worship) and Spiritual Practice:

Village Guardian Deity: Karumari Amman is revered as a powerful guardian deity, particularly in rural areas of Tamil Nadu. She is believed to protect villages and their inhabitants from diseases (especially smallpox, chickenpox, and measles, which are often attributed to her "heat"), evil spirits, and misfortunes.

Remover of Illnesses and Afflictions: A primary reason for her worship is to seek protection from and cure for various diseases. Devotees often vow to offer specific rituals or items if a sick family member recovers, believing her to be the ultimate healer.

Bringer of Fertility and Prosperity: Many women worship Karumari Amman to seek blessings for fertility, safe childbirth, and the well-being of children. She is also invoked for general prosperity, good harvests, and financial stability.

Fulfillment of Vows (Nerthikadan): Devotees often make vows to Amman for specific boons (e.g., a child, a job, recovery from illness). Upon fulfillment, they offer various forms of worship, which can include Pongal (sweet rice offering), Abhishekam, Angapradakshinam (rolling around the temple), or offering specific ornaments.

Daily Rituals: Like other deities, her brass idol would be central to daily pooja in homes:

Abhishekam: Ritual bathing with water, milk, turmeric water, etc.

Alankaram: Decorating with turmeric paste, kumkum, flowers (especially red and yellow), garlands, and silk sarees.

Arati: Waving lamps.

Offerings (Prasadam): Pongal, lemon rice, fruits, and betel leaves are common offerings.

Mantras: Chanting Devi mantras or specific Amman prayers.

Fire Walking (Thee Midhi) and Kavadi: In larger temple festivals, devotees undertake rigorous vows like fire walking (Thee Midhi) or carrying Kavadi (a decorated ceremonial burden) as an offering to Amman. While these are usually performed at temples, the idol at home serves as a reminder and focal point for these vows.
