There is a pond on the way to the temple. People of the village believe that orders of Mayavar are executed by Kurathi Ammans. A part of the pongal is given to the girl, to take it to her husband’s home. The paddy from this box is made in to rice and Pongal made out of it is offered to Kurathi Amman. On all Mondays and Fridays, Kurathi Ammans are worshipped by preparing Pongal.Īll girls of the village, who get married to an outside villagers, give three fifty rupees and seven measures (Marakkal) of paddy to the Kurathi Amman.

Then Otha Mani Karuppar entered one of them and told,”I have saved you. But the colour of the goat had completely changed and the owner said sorry and went his way. When the owner wanted to see what is inside the box, they were forced to open it. Recognizing him the villagers put the meat of the goat in a box. At that time the owner of the goat came there. It seems once some villagers, who went to an outside market town caught hold of a goat and cut it and were preparing to cook it. A story is there about Otha Mani karuppar. On his right side, Chinna Karuppar, Perriya Karuppar and Otha Mani Karuppar statues are there. These seven Kurathi women stand on the left side of Mayavar. Since Kurathi Amman is their God, if at any time a Kuravan comes to the village he is treated properly and given food. Even simple things like hair pin which falls in the streets are not touched by anybody. Now Kudukuduppai karan does not does police duty in the village but some of them come during harvest to collect the grain. They gave him some grain as compensation during harvest. The villagers also appointed the Kudukuduppai Karan as their police man. From that time no thief has come to the village. Kurathi Amman pardoned him and restored his sight. He immediately came to her temple, kept the Thali at Kurathi Amman’s feet and begged forgiveness. People said that this was done by Kurathi Amman. They were called by the villagers as Kurathi Amman.Īfter this one Kudukuduppai karan (a beggar who tell that he lives in the burial ground and foretells future of people accompanied by a drum in the morning) once stole the Thali (Mangalya Sutra) of a woman of the village. The villages agreed and consecrated their statue near Mayavar temple. It seems they appeared in the dream of a villager and told them, that if they consecrate them as Gods in the village and worship them, they would look after the village. The men of their group murdered all the seven woman along with their babies.

Once seven Kurathis along with their babies missed their way and stayed for a night in the forest near Anaivari. If their woman (called Kurathi) stays outside their camp for one night, they used to murder them. They tell astrological l predictions, sell knick knacks like needle etc. Valmiki who did penance in the village, over time became a God to the village and settled there, the villagers started calling this God as Mayavar. Rama and Lakshmana continued their search. Somehow, sage Valmiki liked the village very much and decided to stay there. They happened to come to Anaivari village. Sage Valmiki who was in the forest accompanied them. It seems when Sita was kidnapped by Ravana, Lakshmana and Rama went is search of her. There is an interesting story about this village, which goes back to the Ramayana. Kurathi Amman has a temple in this village. Anaivari is a village which is 18 km from Pudukottai.
