 | | It is for this reason that even the priest, while worshipping him, stands with his back towards him. | | | The people of this valley had allied themselves with the Kauravas in the battle of Mahabharata, and in due course they accepted them as gods and raised imposing temples of Duryodhan and Karna. | | | Unlike in Garhwal, Kinnaur and the Kullu Valley, where the Pandavas (the heroes of the epic Mahabharata) are considered the righteous ones and are revered, in the Tons Valley people are over-awed by the Kauravas, the wrong doers, and worship them as gods. |

| | Karaiyar becoming Kauravas is a classic case of made up folk etymology in which purely dravidian people claim Aryan origin also known as Sanskritization. | | | About 10% of Sri Lanka's poppulation is made up of Kurukulams who call themselves variously as Kaurava, Karava, Kurukulathar etc. They speak either Tamil or Sinhala and are accordingly classed as Tamils or Sinhalese. | | | Once Tamils and other South Indians converted to Hinduism after the 9th century A.D there was a race in earnest to find Aryan roots among the Sudras (All South Indians became Sudras as new converts) to socially upgrade them. |
