All the elements have to be finely mixed in the right proportion to give a product that does not appear too sedate or too crude. Well, we do not mean to pull down this so called 'good' cinema but one must remember and understand that making pure commercial entertainers requires a lot of skill and is an art in itself. There might be people who say that commercial cinema is just trash and that 'good' cinema should be provided to the people. Unless there is action, comedy, romance, sentiments and glamour, a film doesn't qualify to be called a commercial potboiler. A meal is not complete without any of these and so is the commercial cinema. Just like a complete south Indian meal that must have everything right from sambhar, rasam, curd and the desserts, not to forget the favorite of many, the kara kozhambu.

#TAMIL GOD GALLERY FULL#
Have a full preview of my book about Dravidian deities (120 pages with lots of photos) in German: AYYANAR UND MARIAMMAN, DRAVIDISCHE SCHUTZGÖTTER IN SÜDINDIENĪnd in English: Christa Neuenhofer, AYYANAR AND MARIAMMAN, FOLK DEITIES IN SOUTH INDIA (see below). Milk and eggs are offered to propitiate the snake (compare my gallery: Naga Cult - Snake Worship - in Tamil Nadu, India ). These shrines often have an anthill that can be the resting place of a cobra. This stone is often adorned with garlands made of limes and with red flowers. In many rural shrines, the goddess has no form and is represented by a granite stone with a sharp tip, like a spear head. Most Mariamman temples are humble shrines in villages, where non-Brahmins act as priests. People also pray to Mariamman for progeny, a good spouse, etc. Now she cures all so-called heat-based diseases like rashes and chickenpox. And she was the smallpox goddess before this disease was eradicated. Māri originated as an ancient village goddess related to fertility and rain. Māri is also closely associated with the Hindu goddesses Parvati and Kali. She is the main South Indian mother goddess, predominant in the rural areas of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
