This gave rise to the evolution of a practice called `Mahamai' since 1900, by which, the community traders were required to set apart daily a stipulated amount as per the trade practised. This was collected daily and utilized for the public good of the community. The practice is still in vogue effectively and successfully.<BR/><BR/>The traders take pride in informing that most of the schools, temples, marriage halls etc. built in the town belong to the community as a whole and to no single individual. They claim that trade and mahamai are the two eyes of Virudhunagar.<BR/><BR/>There is an anecdote: When C.Rajagopalachari, as Chief Minister visited the town during the British regime to inaugurate the municipality's water supply scheme, he learnt about the `scheme of handful rice for public cause' giving an impetus to education in the town. He is said to have wondered as to how good it would be for all the traders in the state to contribute for the public good.<BR/><BR/>This resulted in the introduction of `sales tax' in 1937 to make good the revenue loss in lieu of the introduction of prohibition in the state then, the traders say.<BR/><BR/>Virudhunagar has been exemplary in community self-help, in that, it paved the way for rainwater harvesting long before, it is claimed.<BR/><BR/>The tank in the town has been so modelled to collect the rainwater during the season and it has never dried up over the years, they point out.<BR/><BR/>Theatres <BR/>Amirtharaj <BR/>Apsara <BR/>Rajalakshmi <BR/>Sriram <BR/>Temples <BR/>Sri Siva Temple <BR/>Sri AdiParasakthi Maariyamam Temple <BR/>Sri Veiluganda Amman Temple <BR/>Valasubramaniya Murugan Temple <BR/>Sri Renganathar Temple <BR/>Sri Rama TempleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-74019394776921556332007-01-23T14:14:16.839+05:302007-01-23T14:14:16.839+05:30good intro on vinod joseph. thanks.MSV Muthuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14757703300988148380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-66658472165140811782007-01-22T05:35:46.588+05:302007-01-22T05:35:46.588+05:30Thanks L!nehahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17197452546005616713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407417.post-82909944608409690782007-01-21T17:35:01.570+05:302007-01-21T17:35:01.570+05:30Regards to Vivek.<br />Havent read the blog yet, liek a true gentleman,lining in the queue first if any goodie copies are handed? good will n all<br />yes?Ubermenschhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07409688684675628714noreply@blogger.com
