Abstract

One of the five thinai lands mentioned by Tholkappiyar is the Neithal Thinai. The customs of Neithal Thinai, the area where early man originated and lived, are dependent on the sea and are different from those of the people living in other Thinai lands. In this way, the novel 'Maanatthukku Anji' written by Kurumpanai C Berlin records the customs of the Catholic Christian fishermen living in the Kurumpanai village of Kanyakumari districts, such as brushing their teeth with the tender shoots, gnashing sweets for the wedding, decorating the boat for Christmas and taking women to sea, food, and customs of the people. This article examines and highlights them.
