About this audio guide
This guide to the Arulmigu Rajamariamman Temple in Johor Bahru follows a lemon, a wick and a Tuesday afternoon, and the old astrological hour that devotees treat very differently from everyone else. It touches Mariamman, the Tamil Rain Mother called on against epidemics, and a Chennai priest with something frank to say about where the ritual came from. Best heard facing the gate tower on Jalan Ungku Puan.
