Bala Prajapathi Adikalar

Bala Prajapathi Adikalar

Bala Prajapathi Adikalar (also spelt Adigalar or Adigal) is considered as the present religious leader of Ayyavazhi. Ayyavazhi is not an organised religious system and so it does not fall directly under his control officially. But still religiously he was considered so. He has a considerable role in the History of Ayyavazhi, especially during the 70's and 80's of the twentieth century. He was also awarded the Kottai Ameer award for communal harmony by the government of Tamil Nadu in 2003.
