Vandari:

The post of Vandari is hereditary. His wife is referred to as Vandarichi. He acts like a messenger to convey information about puberty, marriage, death etc. to the Irulas of his own village and of other villages. In addition, he has to perform some duties in various ceremonies. At the time of marriage, he should spread a mat on which the bride and the groom sit. He is paid 0.25 paise for this. After the marriage ceremony, the betel leaves, nuts etc. which are spread out on the mat will be given to him. If any offerings are made to God at the time of marriage, they also are taken by him. In addition, he gets the plain white cloth or dhoti which has been used for spreading the cooked rice in marriage feast. During the death ceremony, he should safeguard the staffs of all the visitors and hand them back to them when they leave the settlement. Whenever the Moopans from other villages visit the settlement, the Vandari should keep a general watch over the village. If there are any unwanted intruders, it is his duty to haul them up or report against them to the Moopan.
