PREVEN MOODLEY | Marrieamman | Amman | Shakthi

This video is a special dedication to the goddess Marrieamman. It takes us back to the time of the 1860 Indentured labourers who were brought to the shores of Port Natal South Africa to work on cane fields. They brought with them the beautiful tradition of Marrieamman Prayer which is still very much alive in this day and age.

The video depicts their humble lifestyle and how they celebrated the goddess with much love and devotion.
