Kongu Vellalar Kootams & Kula Deivam Temples
The Kongu Vellalar Gounder community is organised into kootams (clans, also called kulam). Each kootam has its own kula deivam — a guardian clan deity — with a temple in a specific village of Kongu Nadu. Tradition holds that one marries outside one's own kootam (kootam exogamy), so knowing your kootam and kula deivam matters for matchmaking.

About this record
This is a community-maintained reference, compiled from public Kongu community sources. Kootam names, kula deivams and temple towns can vary by family and region, and some kootams have more than one associated temple. Map pins are placed at the temple's town or district and are approximate — they are not surveyed temple coordinates.
Spotted a correction, a missing kootam, or the exact location of a temple? Let us know and we'll update it.
