The cult of the goddess Amman (Mariamman) is one of the oldest folk cults, perhaps older than the cult of Shiva or Vishnu. It can be said that this is, in a certain sense, a pre-Hindu cult, widespread almost throughout India, where this goddess was known under various names, in the south, in Tamil Nadu in particular, under the name Amman. The film was shot in the jungle village of Bogapuram at the annual festival in honor of this goddess in March 2019.
