This Pathi was believed to be built by Ari Gopalan Citar and he use to conduct the daily Panividai there during his time. Now the daily Panividai and the day-to-day affairs are conducted by the village people. The Pathi is managed by the village committee. Since this is the place where Ayya commissioned the Citar to write down the Akilam by telling the first sullable of 'The Kappu', of Akilam, it was considered with equal importance with other Pathis. Also Akilam too accredit it as a 'Pathi'.

Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or status:
“Better risk loss of truth than chance of error—that is your faith-vetoer’s exact position. He is actively playing his stake as much as the believer is; he is backing the field against the religious hypothesis, just as the believer is backing the religious hypothesis against the field.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
