Muthuvan

The Muthuvans or Mudugars are tribe of cultivators in hills of Coimbatore and Madurai, India. They are also found in Adimali and Devikulam forest regions of Idukki district, Kerala. They people were loyal subjects of the dynasty of Madurai, according to tribal legend. When the dynasty was deposed, the surviving royal members migrated to Travancore, central Kerala. On their way to Kerala, they carried the idols of Madurai Meenakshi, the deity of the royal family, on their backs. The word Muthuvar in Tamil is used to denote the same community in Tamil Nadu. The word "Muthu" means elder and literal meaning of "Muthuvar" is elders. Muthuvan are the ancient tribes of this land.
