swamiye saranam ayyappa!village deities like sudalai maadan,karuppan,veerabadran are all considered the sa-parivara devatas of sastha and are more common down south,nagercoil,tirunelveli,and also tamil brahmin dominated trivandrum.their dhyanaas,moola mantras and asthothara satham are available in saastru kalpams but the the mode of worship is hoghly localised.the saptha mathas figure prominently in almost all the avarna poojas of prominent devataas but raakayi etc are a highly village centrified diety and as such have no dhyanaas etc as they are mostly worshipped by other castes.mantra saastraas acknowledge pakshi durga but since no supporting puranaas are available few upasakaas are seen.
