Vithai Thiruvizha In Tamil
Michelle Benitone
The annual thiruvizha sees hundreds of paddy farmers from across the state congregate at one venue to discuss organic rice cultivation in the state, and share heritage paddy seeds with one another. This unique seed festival took root 15 years ago and has already managed to revive more than 150 traditional paddy varieties in the state.
This year, instead of one annual event, usually held at Thiruvarur, thiruvizhas have been organised at Tiruvannamalai, Erode, Cuddalore, Thiruvarur and Chengalpet, Madurai, and Tirunelveli districts of the state.
CREATE, a non-profit based in Paramakudi, Ramanathapuram district, has been at the forefront of the first edition of the Nel Thiruvizha since it began in 2006, at Thiruthuraipoondi, in Thiruvarur district. It has worked closely with farmers in the state, encouraging them to go organic and providing them support.
The rice activists believe that traditional, heritage rice varieties are more sustainable, are easier to grow, have good yields and carry within them medicinal qualities. Traditional and indigenous medicines incorporate many of these rice varieties in them.
The Nel Thiruvizha in Tamil Nadu was born out of the Save Our Rice Campaign that had its roots in Kumbalangi village in Kochi, Kerala, known for its traditional pokkali paddy cultivation system (fish and rice).
Along with Nammalvar, Nagarcoil-based R Ponnambalam, who retired as superintendent of regulated market, also attended the Kumbalangi workshop. Ponnambalam recalled he went to the 2004 workshop in Kerala bearing five varieties of indigenous rice from Tamil Nadu. He has been the Managing Trustee of CREATE since its inception.
Meanwhile, the Save Our Rice movement, which works to conserve rice-ecosystems, revive traditional agricultural practices and promote a sustainable and organic system of paddy cultivation, has created rice diversity blocks and seed banks of indigenous rice varieties, across seven states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh.
Back at Kanjikovil, 66-year-old paddy farmer Mohana Sundaram who also wore his green thundu with the white stripe like a badge of honour, gave an impassioned talk on organic farming and its sustainability. As Sundaram spoke of the health benefits of the traditional rice, delicious kanji (gruel) made of karuppu kavuni rice (black rice) was served to the gathering. Karuppu kavuni was considered so special, that, lore goes, only royalty had the right to eat it. This variety is mostly grown in the eight Cauvery delta districts in Tamil Nadu.
After a lunch of tomato rice made of rich, chewy mapillai samba rice and served with potato curry and a millet and curd dish, the farmers made their way home from Kanjikovil carrying their precious manja pai bearing the heritage paddy seeds, promising to be back next year with more heritage paddy seeds that could be shared.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
