[ZESTCaste] fyi

 

Dear All
in continuation of my earlier posting on banning brahmin priests or priests totally  
 
Coming back from a dalit dominated village wherein I went for some other purposes

- there are six ammans kandigai marriamma (dalit goddess),
- nagathamma (snake goddess),
- Ponni Amma (gold)
- Selvi amma (wealth goddess),
- yelvathamma, ??
- rovithamma, ??
- Tulukanathamma (mulsim-amman).

IF SOMEBODY HAS CLARITY ON THESE DIFFERENT AMMANS DO CIRCUALTE. there was one ganasha temple- i do not know how it made it in. I HOPE A PROCESS OF SANSKRITISATION DOES NOT HAPPEN 

These were either directly worshipped by people or by non brahmin priests.

Old women sang simultaneously songs not only on these ammans but also on ambedkar. How to preserve all this when dalits are getting displaced to ubran areas is a moot question
 
As the purpose of my visit was different i did not investigate deep 

Ranjani
