Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Kula Deivam?
Kula Deivam (குலதெய்வம்) is the ancestral family deity worshipped by a family lineage in South India. Each family traditionally has a specific temple associated with their clan deity, often dating back centuries.
Where does this data come from?
Our records come from two sources: the historical text "Castes and Tribes of Southern India" by Edgar Thurston (1909), which documented deity practices across the region, and community-sourced contributions from modern families. We add new records weekly.
How accurate are the results?
Records marked "Verified" have been confirmed by multiple community members. "Historical (1909)" records are sourced from academic texts and reflect practices documented over a century ago — some temples may have changed names or locations since then. "Community sourced" records are submitted by families.
Can I save results to my family tree?
Yes! Heritage plan members can save kula deivam records directly to their family tree on TamizhConnect. Free plan users can search and view all results.
