Worship of the Forest Goddess in the Life of Irulas- Study

Abstract

A relentless mixture of socially conscious human ethnic groups is spreading across human circles. The number of human hybrid groups has increased over the past thousand years as a result of the hybrid system, which began in the Pre-Paleolithic and became more and more widespread. It is clear that Kumari Kandam (a mythical continent believed to have been lost with an ancient Tamil civilization) is the land where a single organism multiplied into various beings and developed into human beings, and that the upright ape that emerged from that land was the beginning of the development of the human race. It can also be well understood that the Dravidian race is the hallmark of that early development of the race. In that order, the Tamil tribal tribes are the Irulas. The Coimbatore district has a large population of tribal people. These illiterate people belong to a generation that lived for about a thousand years. In the social life of the tribal people, from the time of the beginning of religious worship to the present day, the worship of the Goddess of the Forest occupies a special place. The purpose of this article is to examine those methods of worship.
