There is a famous temple near Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Wikipedia gives these details:

Tamil Nadu, India. It is dedicated to Mariamman, the Hindu Goddess of rain. it is situated near to river Vaigai at a distance of

about 3 km from the Meenakshi Amman Temple. Temple has its huge pond Vandiyur Mariamman Teppakulam. Although

Mariammam Shrine is the prime shrine, temple has pechiammam(Tamil: பேச்சியம்மன்) and vinayagar beside the pipal tree.

Two dwarapalakis located on the entrance of Mariammam shrine.''
