Kateri Amman, also spelt as Katerie, is a dakini goddess who is worshipped for the healing of sickness. 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.

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.
