RE: [Y-Indology] Digest Number 728

[Guest guest]

Dear all

I am looking for some info on a god called MOOPNAR. He is been worsipped by

a community from Selam district of TN , of Arunthathiyar caste. No much

written account is available about the god. infact I have not been able to

trace the name (Moopnar- which they insist is the name of the god)

would be thankful if any one can suggest a souce info or even an oral

account of this deity.

 

Thanks

Vidya
