Title:

Koorai Kula Addenam's collection of ritual tax collection notebooks and other documents [1862-1943]

Scope & Content:

This Collection consists of paper documents dealing with customary law, Inam commission as well as a small amount of miscellaneous papers. There are also 13 notebooks of various size and pages used by the document holder's grandfather when he went for the ritual tax collection to different villages. This tax was collected from each Kongu Vellala Goundar household which came under his jurisdiction as Addenam (Religious head). The current holder, Ilaya Addenam of Sivagiri (whose full title is Srilasri Sivasamaya Pandidha Guruswamigal), received these documents from his grandfather as well as his father's elder brother.

25 handwritten and printed paper documents, 12 notebooks, 1 copper plate.
