1897 Kamudi Temple entry agitation information

The Kamudi Temple entry agitation was an agitation by the Nadar community to enter the Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple in Kamudi or Kamuthi on 1897. On the night of May 14, 1897 the Nadars forcefully entered the temple and inside the Sanctum Sanctorum and made rituals. The Nadars were opposed as they were not considered as a high caste to enter the temple. Criminal cases were filed against the Nadars and they made to compensate for the purification rituals after their entry. The attempt to enter the temple represents an important step in the history of Kamudi.^[1]^{[citation needed]}

Earlier In 1895, when Nadars struggled for their right to access the temples of Kamuthi, there were riots in Kalugumalai called Kalugumalai riots of 1895.^[1]
