Who We Are
A DISTINCT IDENTITY
The New York Mari-Amman Koil was established in 2002 in Richmond Hills
Queens by its founders,Veera mootoo Madray, Haresh Apanna and Errol
Virasawmi. The Tamil culture was brought to Guyana from Tamil Nadu by our
forefathers over two hundred ago, and has been deeply preserved in its
originality. We, the Tamil descendants born in Guyana, like our forefathers,
have also brought our Culture and Gods with us to North America. As Tamils we are
extremely passionate about our worship, culture and heritage, with this in mind,
The New York Mari-Amman Koil was established as a Temple to provide the
essentials for worship along with an appeasing atmosphere necessary to perform one’s puja according to their desire. At our temple we are proud to uphold and maintain the ancient traditional rites, ways and layout as it was done in ancient times handed down to us by our gurus. Great Pusaris like Raj Ramsammy (Lil Mouth), Chinapa Veerana (Bayah Tata), Permaul Appaya (Peter Jogi), James Naidu (Papaloo) and many others who have laid such a foundation for us to follow.
The New York Mari-Amman Koil, is a TEMPLE, a house of worship and a place for devotion. We welcome you to join us in performing this ancient worship to
Permaul, his sister Mari-Amman along with her Kaval Divams. The Temple is
opened for worship every Sunday. We also promote cultural activities, such as Tamil language, music, and dance.
