The Mariyamman Festival in Ambur is a vibrant and deeply spiritual celebration dedicated to Goddess Mariyamman, the deity of rain, health, and protection. Observed mainly during the Tamil months of Chithirai–Vaikasi (April–June), the festival brings together devotees from Ambur and nearby villages.
The celebrations include special poojas, abhishekams, flower decorations, processions, folk music, and traditional dances. Devotees offer pongal, neem leaves, and turmeric, and some observe fasting and rituals seeking blessings for good health, rainfall, and prosperity. The festival reflects Ambur’s rich cultural heritage and strong community spirit.
