Abstract

Karuppusamy is a deity worshiped in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Karuppusamy is worshiped as a tribal deity and a guardian deity. In the agrarian community, when people lived as ethnic groups, they formed a unique identity for themselves professionally as well as religiously. Some of these cults are meant to exemplify their cultural practices. Karuppasamy worship is flexible enough to adapt to the place and the circumstances of the people.
