I have also noticed that some Brahmin Families have Village Deities , like the one for Vana Durga near Tiruvarur.
My mother used to take us for th Tonsuring of the head to Andavar Koil near Manapparai after visiting Palani in Tamil Nadu.
I am intrigued.
These Deities are not Vedic Deities,
How come these are worshiped in Brahmin Households when Brahmins are basically Vaidikas, those who follow the Vedas?![]()
