Our Meghavarnam and Kootchar family were one of the pioneer settler of Virudhanagar
as per their statement their origin of nativity runs as follows. More or less,
around the early 18th century Megavarnams parent family migrated from southern
part of Tamilnadu and settled at a village named Devathanpatty then in Madurai
district for one lively hood.
There too they were unable to meet their both ends. So they once again migrated
to the southern side under the sacred voice direction of the mother goddess Kamakshi
Amman. The sacred voice also directed them to take sacred Pidiman from the Devathanpatty.
Kamakshi temple, which should be tried on the horn of a bull. The voice directed
them to settle at a place where that bull sat with that sacred Pidiman. By this
they walked for many days and weeks and came to Virudhapatty the bull sat at a
place, which is called now as Ull Street . There they established Kamakshi Amman
Peedam with the sacred Pidiman and began to worship and led a prosperous life.
Meghavarnam and kootchar are the heirs of one family. They established themselves
in agriculture and then agro based business. They had an edge over others in financial
status. Result of this they gained social prestige, which ultimately led them
to the post of Natanmai of the village Virudhupatty. As per the custom of Virudhumpatty
Meghavarnam family was nicknamed by that name but exact reason for the same is
not known. Meghavarnam may be bisected into two viz. Megha + Varnam means cloud
+ color. So the name Meghavarnam means colour of cloud. Cloud appears some time
in white colour and the raining cloud appearing in black. So the parent of present
Meghavarnam family might be in black in skin colour or uniquely might be in white
skin colour. But at present many of the Meghavarnam family members are somewhat
in fair colour. In exception great statesman K. Kamarajar is a black skinned man
that is why the north Indian politicians called him as Kala Gandhi. The exact
reason for the name Kootchar is not known. At present, in both Meghavarnam and
kootchar clans there are 25 to 30 thalaikattus existing.
