Kaaval Deivams

Kaaval Deviams are gods that are considered the guardians of villages
in South India. These snaps are a few taken in the Salem / Dharmapuri
district of Tamil Nadu in India and depict the various forms of these
gods.

Generally, these gods are depicted with some kind of weapon, short
sword, long sword, trident, or sometimes even guns. Most of them are
called "Iyyanaar", though they are also known as "Muniyaandi",
"Muniappan" in some places.
