Thamaraikulam Pathi

Thamaraikulam Pathi (Tamil: தாமரைகுளம் பதி) is one among the Pancha pathi, the five holy places of Ayyavazhi. The Ari Gopalan Citar, who wrote the Akilam, was born here.

Thamaraikulam Pathi was built by (the present construction) Pathi's first Guru. Ponnaranainjavan Udaiyakutti in his land. Arigopalancidar wrote Akilathirattu Ammanai in Thamaraikulam Pathi. This was considered a Pathi because the Akilam was written down here, which was one among the incarnational activities of Vaikundar. When Ayya Vaikudar came out from the sea (after his first vinchai), he decided and planned to do meditation here only. This is the first place he visited and started his first pathi. This is the First pathi in the All Pancha pathis. During the time of Ayya Vaikunder, devotees took him to this Pathi once a year in a Vahana.
