Abstract

Rituals are linked to the stages of development that lead to the transformation of human beings. Transitions from birth to death are subject to ritual performance. The benefits of the ritual also determine the cause of the ritual. Animals and birds are worshiped because of the benefits of tribal worship. Garuda worship takes place in the Vettuva Goundar community. They worship the eagle, believing that it will rain on them. It is believed that the eagle completely performed the death rites for humans and thereby obtained rain. he ancestors did so and did it by the way because it got rain. The four who performed the death rites were Dasar, Navidar, Paraiyar and Vannar. The owner of the land where the eagle lay dead accepts the cost of the ritual. Or they collect taxes from everyone and perform rituals. They follow instructions such as not performing a funeral in the twin month.
