Lord Ayyanar is a village god worshipped in rural Tamil Nadu to protect villagers, crops, and cattle. He is identified by his frightening appearance holding a sickle while standing near horses. Festivals are held for devotees where lambs or cocks are sacrificed and served in his honor. Villagers worship Ayyanar before sowing and harvesting by keeping his statues in open areas surrounded by trees rather than temples.
