puli thevar

Puli Thevar or Pooli Devar (1715 to 1768; the name Puli in Tamil means a Tiger) was a local  chieftain of Hindu Marava  community also known as poligar in English or in local parlance Palayakaarar. He was a devotee of Lord Shiva and  ruled an area called Nel katum sevval (the place that pays rice tribute to  the Nawob of Arcot) or Avudayapuram situated now in the Sankarankoil taluk of Tamil Nadu, S. India. He was a just, but  rebel ruler and strode the path of dharma. His personality was such that never had he failed to act against adarma whenever it  raised its ugly head.
