| Abstract: | Vengalarajan Katai, a heroic folk narrative, is a highly popular narrative among the people of Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari districts. The story is sung, even today, in Villuppattu ( bow song) performance. The narrative eulogizes the genealogy of Nadars, a caste community, whose traditional occupation is palmyra climbing. |
