The food is essentially spicy, with a standard full meal consisting of cooked dhal, eggplant (brinjal) curry, drumstick sambar, ghee for flavoring rice, and sweet meats. The freshest of spices – coriander, cumin, pepper, fenugreek, star anise and cinnamon – famed not only for their flavor, but also for their medicinal value, are used in distinctive blends in Chettinad cuisine. Mansions: Chettinad is rich in cultural heritage, art and architecture, and is well known for its houses, embellished with marble and Burma teak, wide courtyards, spacious rooms, and for its 18th century mansions. Local legend has it that their walls used to be polished with a paste made out of egg whites to give a smooth texture. Temples: Originally built by early Tamil dynasties like the Cholas, the temples of Chettinad stand testimony to the spiritual beliefs of its denizens. Scattered over the whole place, each temple has its own tank called oorani where water lilies are grown, and used for holy rituals. Even today much of Chettinad's daily tidings are centered on the festivities around the temple. Among the many famous temples, a few are Vairavan Kovil, Karpaga Vinayakar temple, Kundrakudi Murugan temple, Kottaiyur Sivan temple.

These tiles are made by a unique process using local soil. Travellers can visit a tile factory in Athangudi to get the first hand experience how these tiles are made. Kandanki or Chettinad Saree is another major handicraft item of the Karaikudi area. These sarees are hand‐woven in cotton, has a big border and usually come in checks or stripes. Traditionally the Chettinad weavers used vegetable dyes in black, red & yellow. Wood‐carving is another major highlight. The minute carvings on the doors and carving of idols on wooden blocks are some of the exquisite examples of wood carvings of the Chettinad region.

About Us n the earlier days in the Nagarathar community there were well informed elders in our native place who suggested suitable match for the boy or girl. All the marriage or religious functions are attended to by the eligible grooms and brides within whom suitable alliances were matched. Now a days the, as the community is spread allover the globe, on their employment or occupation, the boy and girls are not able to find time/ interested to go to their native to attend the functions. Hence a place was required to make a link for those who seek alliance for their sons and daughters. A thoughtful Nagarathar Mr. M. Chidambaram Chettiar (Ex Indian Bank Officer) of Devakottai, felt the need of the hour and started the Nagarathar Thirumana Sevai Maiyam at Besant Nagar, Chennai in his own house. He was the forerunner in establishing such a service. After running the service for more than a decade he has decided to hand over the responsibility of continuing the service to a service minded person with a similar aspiration in the year 2001. He has rightly chosen Mr. SM. Lakshmanen of Devakottai who was also a retired Officer of Indian Bank, to succeed him in running the service from Jan.

  • South Indian Cuisine
    SOUTH INDIAN CUISINE South Indian Cuisine is a term used to refer to the cuisines found in the four southern states of India, namely Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. As opposed to North Indian cuisine, there is limited use of garam masala and other dried spices except cardamom, black pepper and turmeric. South Indian cuisine is rice based. Rice is combined with lentils to make wonderful dosas, idlis, vadas and uttapams. These items are glorious and delicious besides being nourishing and digestible (due to the fermenting process). They are combined with sambhar (dal), rasam (tamarind dal), dry and curried vegetable and pachadi (yogurt). Their rice preparations are also masterpieces like biryani from Hyderabad, lemon rice and rice seasoned with coconut peanuts, tamarind, chilies, curry leaves, urad dal and fenugreek seeds. South Indian chutneys are made of tamarind, coconut, peanuts, dal, fenugreek seeds, and cilantro. Meals are followed by coffee. South Indian dals and curries are more soupy than North Indian dals and curries. South Indian cuisine is also hotter. Coconut milk straight from the nut is a common beverage and sight in South India. Coffee is very popular in South India and Madras coffee is popular in South Indian restaurants throughout the world. The South Indian food is a brilliant blend of flavors, colors, seasoning, nutritional balance, fragrance, taste, and visual appeal. PARIMARAL - THE SOUTH INDIAN TRADITION OF SERVING A TRADITIONAL MEAL A typical traditional meal in South India is served on a "Vazhaillai", a freshly cut plantain leaf. The Sappad or food that is served on a banana leaf (even the size of the leaf varies from one community to another) is displayed like an identity card.

  • Chapter Iii 67
    CHAPTER I I I THE TEMPLES AND THE SOCIAL ORGANISATION OF THE CHETTIARS ' In the last chapter we sav that the Ilayathankudi Nagarathar emerged as a distinct endogamous Saiva Vaisya sub-caste, consisting of the patrilineal groups, each group attached to a temple located in the vicinity of Illayathankudi, somewhere around the eighth century A.D. In this chapter we shall see that contrary to the vehe­ ment propa^nda about the regressive effects of Hindu religion and social organization on the rational pursuit of profit, with the Chettiars, their very'*^religious affiliation and their form of social organization seem to have been shaped by their economic interests. It is significant that the social organization of this sub­ caste crystallized at a period v^hen the Tamil Country was rocked by a massive wave of Hindu revivalism that had arisen to counter the rising tide of the heterodox faiths of Buddhism’and Jainism. Buddhists and Jains had flou­ rished amicably along with Hindu Sects even during the Sangam age. But when Buddhism got catapulted into ascendency, under the ’Kalabhras’ , ”a rather mysterious and ubiquitous enemy of civilization”, who swept over ’ the Tamil Country and ruled it for over the two hundred years following the close of the Sangam age in thz4e hurylred A . D . , a hectic fury of re lig io u s hatred and r iv alry 67 6^ was unleashed.^ The active propagation of Buddhism by the ruling Kalabhras, who are denounced in the Velvikudi grants of the Pandyas (nineth century) as evil kings (kali- arasar) who uprooted many adhirajas, and confiscated the pro- 2 perties gifted to Gods (temples) and Brahmins, provoked the adherents of Siva and Vishnu to make organized attempts to stall the rising tide of heresy.
