If I understand right Dravidian culture worshipped Goddess more. It was more of matrilineal system, while Aryan was patriarchal. Even now in Kerala certain castes follow matrilineal system. Kerala TN are places where Goddess is worshipped as Shakthi, Kali etc.

It is in Southern literature we find Kannagi who burns Mathura, a fierce form of Goddess, whereas North literature doesnt celebrate this fierce form of Goddess except in Bengal where Kali pooja happens.

See if you read Da vinci code same concept is taken by Dan brown in the name of Paganism. Paganism is Goddess worshipers and then the book says Christianity over took them to make it God superior.

But the people of the Indus Valley Civilization also worshipped the Mother Goddess right??Infact Pasupati and the Mother Goddess were two of their prime deities.

Also the recent Keeladi/Keezhadi excavation

and the controversy surrounding it as it was stopped in mid

they say it could be even older than Indus Valley Civilization

and shed light on Vaigai Karai (River) Civilization

Since now they have resumed work

Lets hope for the best

It's so fascinating.

There are a lot of ancient mysteries in our land for sure.We just have to uncover them.

Ashi, watch this video

@Mano IVC flourished along Af-Pak region, that's why I thought it could be more Aryan.

@Ashi yes they worshipped Mother Goddess. But not in the fierce form like Kali which you see in Kerala, TN. They worshipped her more as Gauri, Annapo*na at the most Durga in a way in benevolent form

Da vinci code was a good book, a beautiful puzzle. Actually Ashwin Sanghi's Krishna Key was an attempt to Indianize Da Vinci code and I can tell he failed miserably.

Shruthi this talks about IVC too

Those countries that don't have much of a history are longing for it

Here we fail to cherish it inspite of having it in abundance

Politics in everything , even in a excavation

and corruption to top it

we don't preserve our monuments too

It is an interesting fact about keeladi. I was totally unaware of it until now will watch the video as well.

Shruthi, I think IvC was before the Aryan civilization. As you mentioned Dravidian culture gives equal or higher place to goddess. Without shakthi there is no existence for shiva.

Kannagi's story is just beautiful narrated in one of the five tamil kaviyam- large poetry - silapathigaram. She is one of the pathi vrathai who fought verbally against the pandya king who killed her husband without proper investigation and her purity burns madurai down.

Da vinci code by dan brown was simply superb read. I loved the book more than the movie
