From a common cultural zone stretching from southern Afghanistan to India during the Lower Paleolithic era (prehistoric period), to having Harappan era trade posts in the Proto historical era, to the Kushana kings and the Kashmiri Karkota dynasty, the cultural connections between India and Afghanistan go long back in the history of human civilisation.

Tracking the lost worship of devi Ekanamsa.
The Durgastrotras in the Mahabharata and Aryastava of the Harivamsa describe Ekanamsa as being born to Yasoda and Nanda (Yasodagarbhasambhutam… | Nandagopakule jatam…)….
Her position is between Balrama and Sri Krishna with a golden lotus in her hand, uniting the two brothers, and her abode is in the Vindhya mountains.
She’s not Subhadra. It’s Brahmapurana that mixed up Ekanamsa devi with Subhadra, leading to Ekanamsa devi being worshipped as Subhadra in Puri from medieval times (Subhadra is also a sister of Sri Krishna, but she’s not Ekanamsa). While the worship of Ekanamsa devi is now lost, she continues receiving puja in the form of Subhadra, and the tatva or the essence of her being remains alive.
(Image is of Ekanamsa devi with Balarama and Sri Krishna, 9th century CE, now with the Lucknow museum).

Vandiyur Mariamman Temple, Madurai.
The temple is located at around 5 km from the Meenakshi Amman temple. The temple is popular for the huge pond known as the Vandiyur Mariamman Teppakulam. This pond, which was constructed in 1645 CE, is the largest tank in Tamil Nadu. It is believed that the 7 foot tall Mukuruny Vinayakar idol of the Meenakshi Amman temple was found during the excavation of this pond.
The Mariamman Teppakulam is popular for its Float festival, which is celebrated in a colorful way in the in the month of Thai according to Tamil calendar (January 14th to February 15th). On a full moon night the murtis of Lord Sundareshwarar and Meenakshi devi from the Meenakshi Amman temple is taken from the temple to this tank on beautifully decorated floats. The sight of the floats, the temple, and the huge pond is a mesmerising sight.
