Kadamai Kanniyam Kattupathu are famous Tamil words for duty, dignity, discipline, patti means village, and indeed this woman was the name of her village worth, although old(68) and a little bit deaf she payed full attention with enthoussiasme in her conversation: she met for the first time one of the grand-children of her brother.

Kanniyampatti is a small farmers village next to Usilampatti at 50km of Madurai.

Actually I was going to this village to see the Sivarathiri festival wich impressed me a lot last year in another place ... but in vain, the festival here was cancelled two days before due to a quarrel between the elder and younger men about the money to invest in this festival. The older men preferred not to spend much ... it was the first time this village knew some dissension.

Oh well, the people here were very nice to me, they even invited to stay the night over in the village arriving rather late in the afternoon at 17:00.
