Kateri Amman, also spelt as Katerie, is a Dakini 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.^[1]

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.^[2]
