Located about 12 km north-west from Pollachi, is the Zamin of Puravipalayam. Translating the name of the village, the word puravi means ‘horse’ and palayam means ‘a fortified district or military camp’.
With modernization claiming every other village around the region its victim, this ancient village is also in the cusp of becoming a hollow relic of the past.
However, the village remains purely rustic with the petty shops, elementary schools, local tea shops, quaint little eat-outs, ancient temples, Palmyra palms, and humongous tamarind and banyan trees towering and branching out in every direction where one can see.
Apart from the thriving farming community, the village also hosts kuyavars (skilled potters and mud sculptors), sirpis (stone sculptors), kothanars (masons), carpenters and cultural performers like kummi paatu dancers and various other artists.
