Abstract
The place where people originated and where life began is considered Kurinji land. This is the land that Lord Muruga took as his place. He made the spear a weapon and the image of the rooster a flag. Fanaticism is one of the oldest in the worship of Lord Muruga found in Tamil literature. It may be said to have originated on the basis of social collective life. It can also be said that this worship originated from the worship of Lord Muruga in Tamil Nadu. Though there are no idols in this worship, it can be said that it was worshipped with 'Velayudham (Spear)', the symbol of Lord Muruga. The tribal people, with the help of Lord Velan alias Murugavel in the family, have performed a veriyaattu ceremony (Fanaticism) to resolve the relationship between the mother and daughter. The purpose of this article is to examine it.
