R. Muttukkannammal, the last dedicated devadasi of the Murukan temple at Viralimalai in Pudukkottai district, remembers dancing to English marching-band songs when the Maharaja of Pudukkottai would come to her temple.

Transmogrified by colonial modernity and the discursive contours of “social reform,” the performance culture and lifestyles of devadasis in the Pudukkottai and Tanjavur districts had become irrevocably divested of function or meaning.
