Palayam Location

This Maravar palayam was located near Rajapalayam, at the foot of the Western Ghats, in the former Tirunelveli province of the Pandiyar dynasty of Madura.[2]

Polygar

Polygar Vandayar Thevar belonged to the Pandaram subcaste of the Maravar. The polygar family was granted the lands by Raja Parakrama Pandya of Pandya Dynasty before the establishment of the Madurai state by Visvanatha Nayaka in the 16th century.[3] It joined Puli Thevar's coalition in 1754-1762. The polygar of Kollamkondan led a new insurrection in 1764, following Yusuf Khan's execution for having betrayed the Nawab. Victories over the Anglo-Nawabi forces helped the revolt spread to other polygars. [3]
