Taradr (Tarnardmand). This is one of the most characteristic Toda villages, situated near the road leading to the Paikara falls. It is shown in Figs. 5 and 6, and has three dairies, situated at some distance from the dwelling-huts. The two dairies shown in [Fig. 5] are the tarvali and kugvali, the former on the left-hand side and the latter on the right. The third dairy of the village is a wursuli, situated to the right of the kugvali.
Near the kugvali is a stone (shown in [Fig. 24]) at which the wursulir is killed at a Taradr funeral. The stone is called püdrshtikars after the name of the buffaloes (püdrshtipir). At a little distance from the three dairies are the remains of another pali, which was only used at the funeral of a male. This pali, like those at other funeral places had three rooms, and in the ruins at the time of my visit it was easy to make out the three divisions. When the occasion arises, the dairy is rebuilt on the day of the funeral, and the tarpalikartmokh takes the mu into the innermost room after purifying it with tudr bark. The body of the dead man is then laid in the outermost room and kept there till it is taken out after the slaughter of the buffaloes. If this temporary building is the representative of a former dairy with three rooms, it would seem that the village of Taradr once had four dairies.
Kudrmas (Kudimalmand). This is a kalolmad on the western side of the Paikara. The kugvalir were here during the greater part of my visit.
Telgudr (Telkodumand). This is another kalolmad. [[655]]
Pushtar (Pattaraimand). This village is one at which the tesherst ceremony (see p. [154]) is sometimes performed.
Kudimad (Kulimand). This is a large village near Taradr at which many of the people live, but it is not an important village ceremonially, having only one dairy, a tarvali.
Near Paikara there can still be seen the remains of a village called Pevar which was deserted because the family which lived there became extinct.
Keradr
This is one of the smallest of the Tarthar clans, all its members being included in Table 26. There are at present sixteen male and nine female members.
There is at present only one kudr, the other having become extinct about three generations ago. As there has been no occasion for irnörtiti, no fresh division has been made. The kudr has two pòlm, one headed by Paniolv, and the other by Teikner.
