Vagavurrai
Vagavurrai or Vaguvarrai is a village in Idukki district of Kerala, India. It is located 24 kilometers north of Munnar and 18 kilometer from Marayur on SH 17 connecting Munnar with Udumalpet, Tamil Nadu. Marayur is the only place in Kerala that has natural sandalwood forests. Ancient dolmens and rock paintings in Marayur date back to the Stone Age. In 1991 Marayur had a population of 9,590.〔 ==History== Marayur claims to be a part of a Stone Age civilization that is as old as 10,000 B.C.〔〔http://www.hindu.com/2004/12/06/stories/2004120604900300.htm〕 It is also home to a later period of large-scale dolmen-building.〔http://www.hindu.com/2010/06/05/stories/2010060564980700.htm〕 People migrated from Tamil Nadu to this area when the Madurai king Thirumalainaicker was defeated by Tippu Sultan, in the eighteenth century CE. The migrants created five villages, being Kanthalloor, Keezhanthur, Karayur, Marayur and Kottakudi. These villages were called the "Anju nadu", literally meaning “five lands”.
