Villagers worship this God who is know to be the God of the Sea and the 49th nayanmar. The yearly ritual symbolizes an unwavering  pious man who always offered his daily catch to his God first, even when people in his village were starving. The ritual had been stopped for 25 years and many fishermen believed this is why the tsunami ravaged the coast of India.  (Ami Vitale)
