User:Nppradeep/List of Kongu Vellalar Kootams

Kongu Vellalar (கொங்கு வேளாள கவுண்டர்) or Gounders (கவுண்டர்) are a Kshatriya, warrior clan of the Kongu Nadu, an ancient division of Tamilakam comprising olden Coimbatore, Salem, Tiruchy (Now Karur), Madurai (Now Dindigul), Namakkal, Erode and ancient Mysore region.

People belonging to the same Kulam/Kootam usually will not intermarry. They are considered as brothers and sisters. Each Kulam/Kootam has its own Kulaguru and Kuladeivam or Ishta deivam. In temples, it is a common practice to pray their divine idols which is specific to a Koottam/Kulam.
