Mother goddess
The palai flower is identified as Wrightia (Wrightia tinctoria). The people inhabiting this region are known as "eyiner", "maravar" and "kalvar" who were involved in waylaying, highway robbery and soldiering. The Eyiner (from "ey" – bow) were hunters who hunted with bow, the maravar (from "maram" – valour) were soldiers and the kalvar (from kal – robbery) were robbers. Their chiefs were known as "mili", "vitalai" and "kalai." Their settlements were known as "kurumpu." Korravai, the Mother goddess and goddess of war, is worshipped here.
