Udayaal

In our Indian history many more memorable incidents happened. Those incidents are not simple incidents they are having great respect to all we know. In 1700 Ramanathapuram was ruled by Sethu kings. Sethupathy ruled Sivagangai. He had a daughter named Velu Nachiar. She was born in 1732 in his kingdom and she became married Muthu Vaduganathar on 1746 as her husband. After this marriage kingdom met a battle with Britishers. British General Joshep Smith with the alliance of Pudukkottai king met Muthu Vaduganathaar in the battle of Kalayar koil. In this battle Britishers attacked with powerful weapons. They won the battle. Muthu Vaduganathar killed by British army. To know the incidents that had happened in battle the wife of Muthu Vaduganathar Rani Velu Nachiyar became hungry for Britishers. At that time Britishers search Velu Nachiyar in many places in that kingdom. But not found anywhere. They search even at local areas.

Who is Udayaal

After the death of Muthu Vaduganathar his wife Velu Nachiyar had hungry to British army. The Britishers search in all places but no more there. They search the place Ariakkurichi near Kollangudi Ayyanaar Koil temple. But they did not see Velu Nachiyar anywhere.At that time Britishers found a little girl. They asked about Velu Nachiyar. She did not give the correct answer. She put her fingers to opposite direction where Velu Nachiyar passed way. Britishers moved from there. But in few minutes they came back and killed that girl because she told the wrong direction and wrong answer. That is Udayaal. To know the incidents that happened, Velu Nachiyar became sad. Thereafter Velu Nachiyar named her Lady Army named as Udayaal Padai or Udayaal army.

Udayaal became Kliamman-

Velu Nachiyar won the battle at Kalayar Koil against Britishers. Her lady Cammander Kuyili help him to destroy the weapons of Britishers. Then return to the place where Udayaal killed. Velu Nachiyar demonstrate the Brave Stone there and gave her Diomond Ring to worship by devotees there. Nowadays it is named as Kollangudi Vettudiyar Kaliamman Temple. Even now the diamond ring there with safety. So we all of us proud of that little girl for her freedom energy.
