\nThe pair “Nattar : Male serpent deity” is not correctly matched.
\n<\/section>\n
\n‘Nattar’ in South Indian historical context, particularly in the Chola period and earlier, refers to the assembly or leaders of a ‘Nadu’, which was a rural administrative unit. They were involved in local administration, land management, and social affairs. A male serpent deity is typically referred to as Naga devata or similar terms related to serpents (Naga).
\n<\/section>\n
\nNagarakkani likely refers to land belonging to a ‘nagaram’ (a guild or town of merchants). Yupa is indeed a sacrificial post used in Vedic rituals. Viragal or Veerakkal are memorial stones (hero stones) erected in memory of fallen warriors or heroes, commonly found in Tamil Nadu and other parts of South India.
