No Avatar of Vishnu Shiva In South Why

1.There is no direct reference to Tamils in the Vedas.

2.However one can find numerous references to Tamils, Tamil Kingdoms, wealth of Tamils int the Ramayana and Mahabharata.

I have posts on this issue.

I provide one quote from Valmiki Ramayana.

"

Kavatapuram was the second capital of early Pandyas whose first capital South Madurai was devoured by sea. ‘Kavatapuram’ means the doorway (of South India). Valmiki Ramayana has a few references to South India. One of them goes like this:–

‘’tato hemamayam divyam muktamani vibhushitam

“Behold on the shore of the ocean the Pandya’s golden gate

Pravara Lineage Of Rama Sita Recited Sita Rama Kalyana

This is called Abhivadanam.(please read my post on this)

It is mandatory to declare this in Public in Hindu Marriages.

This description of listing the ancestors and lineage , Gotra, is called Pravara.

This is practiced even to day in Brahmin Marriages.

Other communities seem to have left this, but this is mandatory for all.

Lord Ram's marriage with Sita was conducted in Mithila.

This is how the Pravara was recited.
