Madan is a deified hero known to have performed rites in temples and in graveyards who is generally by Tamil people in South India, particularly in southern Tamil Nadu, like Thirunelveli, Thoothukudi, Kanyakumari districts and southern Kerala. However, anthropological studies show evidence of native Tamil origin of Sudalai Madan. According to one mythological story, He was created by Lord Shiva, means protector and sudalai means cemetery or burial ground. He is the eradicator of evil forces and bridles evil forces. Evil forces are believed to emanate from cemeteries and burial grounds. Sudalai reigns over evil forces, so Sri Shiva thus dubbed him as Sudalai Madan. Sudalai is also termed as the Kaval Deivam, or the protecting deity. Sudalai Madan is paramount of the protecting deities. Sudalai Madan is often termed as "Maharaja". In central to southern Kerala, he is known as "madan thampuran", "chudala madan" or simply as "madan". Sudalai Madan temple in Pozhikarai Village cheranmahadevi
