Kateri Amman, also spelt as Katerie, is a Hindu folk goddess who is worshipped for the healing of sickness.[citation needed] Kateri can be depicted in many forms with many different appearances. But her skin tone is either dark blue or black. She is seen either holding a cutlass, bowl, trishul, lotus or even all in her four armed form.[citation needed]
She is worshiped in South India and Sri Lanka and by the Tamil diaspora in other places. Her offerings include Neem leaves, limes, Arahul or red flowers.[citation needed]
