Ancient Burial Practices in Tamil Nadu | Keeladi

The Keeladi excavations in Tamil Nadu have pushed the known timelines of ancient Tamil civilisation by at least three centuries. But puzzlingly, unlike most inhabited sites, the Keeladi sites did not reveal any human bones. Then, as archaeologists expanded the area under excavation, they reached a village called Konthagai, where they found a large number of skeletons and burial urns. Could Konthagai have been a burial site for Keeladi? How did ancient Tamils deal with death? What are burial urns and how do the findings at Keeladi, Korkai, Adichanallur and other places corroborate the information about Tamil burial rites mentioned in Sangam literature? This video digs deep into the different funerary customs practised in the oldest settlements of south India - from cremations and the use of burial urns to the erecting of hero stones and Nishidhi pillars to commemorate the dead.

    The ASI of the Union Government INDIA even destroyed approximately approx. 40,000 ancient Tamil inscriptions and artefacts. This came to light when we compered what ASI reported year 2015 100,000 inscriptions out of which approx. 60,000 are Tamil inscriptions. However, when the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court pushed for a return of 60,000 inscriptions in turn, AS submitted in court that it only able to 28,000!!! What happened to the remaining 32,000? On top of that, what happened to inscriptions found from 2005~2022???? DESTROYED!!!! It's a form of planned Tamil culture extermination!!!!😢😢😢

    This is really interesting. My husband 's native village is on the banks of the Thamirabarani and our family temple is literally on the river bank. While the rest of the village folk pray at the Amman temple inside the village we along with four other families and their descendants go every year to the family temple and the main deity is a nadukkal . A two day Puja is done with the nadukkal as the central deity. While Amman temples all over Thuthukudi Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari districts celebrate the annual Amman kodai festival on Tuesdays of the chithirai or aadi month our celebration is always on the 18th and 19th of chithirai. After watching this video it is obvious that some ancient ancestor had done some brave deed and was honoured with a nadukkal. I have to say I'm really proud that my husband and children carry such wonderful dna

    Congratulations and Thanks to you, Sir! The fact that Keezhadi did not yield any burial remnants till now is actually an extremely satisfying and enlightening evidence itself! Our ancestors were so civilized and hygienic in their socio-economic structure that they respectfully laid their dead in a separate and isolated spots of land as "Idukaadu-இடுகாடு-burial land" and "sudukaadu-சுடுகாடு-crematorium" specially allocated for burial and cremation purposes alone. Unlike other religions, Hindhus never installed burial or cremation sites in the midst of dwelling. And even more as economic is that they never built cemeteries for the dead in most deaths. They erected "Hero Worship Stones"-வீர வழிபாட்டுக் கல்" in the form of stone reliefs at the sport where the heroes met their fate. Most of these became "Clan Deities"-குல தெய்வங்கள். Only the most noble persons were offered a cemetary. The excavations not yielding human bones may also suggest that they practiced cremation in most of the occasions of death in order to reduce the bone garbage. It was a practice in those days that after every big war, that were mostly engaged in far away fields preferable river banks, people performed mass cremation on the mounds of dead warriors and horses and elephants.

    The Indus Valley Civilization with 5 million inhabitants spread over a 1000 km of river front came to a sudden end 1900bc. It is important to note that no human remains consistent with an invasion at the time were found in excavations for the purpose. But the area was active with the warring.barbsric horsemen of the Andronovo/Sintashta culture. Therefore it appears that the large peaceful population of the IVC preempted an imminent invasion and annihilation by strategic and systematic evacuation of the valley and further migration east and south. In due course they nixed with the native hunter gatherers to become the ASI

    Hindus in other parts also practice burial long before Judaism was even born. Burials are usually reserved for Hindu monks or sadhus and children who haven't got their upanayan ceremony and whoever wants to be buried that way, rest go for cremation( maximum Hindus opt for cremation now). In fact, my mom's grandmom's sister had her ashes buried in a urn and a Allaya( its an Odia word for small cemented/thatched roof shaped graves of enlightened spirits who served humanity) erected to commemorate her, offerings were buried with her and my maternal house still gives her offerings as she led a pious life as a Hindu preacher of Bhagavatam and we are Odias, the only Indian group with no Muslim or Christian influence still existent to this day, pure Vaishnavaite Sanatani culture of the Odias. Hindus also practice embalming, usually a sage's body is done so and worshipped or his ashes are collected in a urn and buried in a mound, worshipped like that for centuries, most of the Vaishnavaite ans Shaivite saints in Odisha are worshipped that way only. You don't get samadhis like that, Jains and Buddhists also do the same otherwise we won't get the crystallized remains of Buddha in various stupas too. These ancient Tamil practices are pretty consistent with rest of India as well as Indus valley civilization, although Veerakaals are only found in South India, we just have village deities of women/Men who fought with Mughal-Turkic-British rule, like Vasulei, Jagulei. There are immortalized in the history of Odisha as warriors who protected our culture from foreign invasions. Remember, Odisha was the last state in Northern India to come under Muslim rule, that too lasted for 2 decades and we had periods of independence and then, being a vassal kingdom. We are also the last state in India to enter the British empire in 1803, we might have been independent if Nepalese and Punjabis hadn't conspired against us.

    @@aws8536 Not sure where you got the idea about idol worship coming from Jainism and Buddhism. We don't have much idea of the early Vedic people. If they were from India or migrated. Indus Valley civilization is not seen as Vedic people. Infact it is not even a kingdom. So we don't know when people started worshiping and making idols and having Kings and caste system. Probably came from Veda. But some other continuity in culture is seen. Yes, jain and buddhist temples in South India have been converted to Hindu temples. But that is not during ancient times, but rather in recent history ( After Pandya period ).

    There is an argument that disturbing these gravesites may not be in the best of tastes. After all, if you go by the belief, the dead probably do not like to be disturbed! That said, the burial of the dead brings us to a very modern problem; that of land usage. There will eventually be more dead than the living, and the endless growth of cemeteries will start to eat up on areas for the living. In our time, this is why many of those societies where the tradition has been to consign bodies to cemeteries are increasingly opting for cremations, since they - the dying - consider this to be the more responsible thing to do.
