Abstract
The Kongu Vellalar were of great assistance to the king by being in various positions and ranks in the army. They also got the title ‘Kamindan' from the ding for their meritorious service and loyalty. Late the title got modified as Counden'. Certain rules and procedures were put in place to help the boy and girl live together more smoothly. Certain rules' processes and customs evolved into 'rites.' Marriage is the combined execution of all ceremonies in a sequence termed marriage. All ceremonies linked with KonguVellalar marriage are done by 'arumaikaarar' arumaikaari, naavidhan (Barbar), washing man (vannaan), and others intimately associated with the occupation of KonguVellalaGounders. The KonguVellalar marriage is similar to the Aryan 'prajaapathyam' type marriage. In a KonguVellalar marriage, the bridegroom's family visits the bride's home to propose the marriage and seek the bride's family's approval for the match. The marriage takes happens once the bride's family gives their assent.
