In the seventh month of pregnancy, the ceremony called puli kudi (or drinking tamarind) is performed. The woman's brother brings a twig of a tamarind tree, and, after the leaves have been removed, plants it in the yard of the house. The juice is extracted from the leaves, and mixed with the juice of seven cocoanuts. The elderly female relations of the woman give her a little of the mixture. The ceremony is repeated during three days. Birth pollution is removed by a barber woman sprinkling water on the ninth day. The dead are buried. The son carries a pot of water to the grave, round which he takes it three times. The barber makes a hole in the pot, which is then thrown down at the head of the grave. The barber also tears off a piece of the cloth, in which the corpse is wrapped. This is, on the tenth day, taken by the son and barber to the sea or a tank, and thrown into it. Three stones are set up over the grave. Chaliyan also occurs as an occupational title or sub-division of Nayars, and Chaliannaya as an exogamous sept of Bant. In the Madras Census Report, 1901, Chaliyan is given as a sub-caste of Vaniyan (oil-pressers). Some Chaliyans are, however, oilmongers by profession. Challa.--Challa, meaning apparently eaters of refuse, occurs as a sub-division of Yanadis, and meaning buttermilk as an exogamous sept of Devanga. Challakuti, meaning those who eat old or cold food, is an exogamous sept of Kapus. Chamar.--Nearly three hundred members of this Bengal caste of tanners and workers in leather were returned at the census, 1901. The equivalent Chamura occurs as the name of leather-workers from the Central Provinces. Chandala.--At the census, 1901, more than a thousand individuals returned themselves as Chandala, which is defined as a generic term, meaning one who pollutes, to many low castes. "It is," Surgeon-Major W. R. Cornish writes, [11] "characteristic of the Brahmanical intolerance of the compilers of the code that the origin of the lowest caste of all (the Chandala) should be ascribed to the intercourse of a Sudra man and a Brahman woman, while the union of a Brahman male with a Sudra woman is said to have resulted in one of the highest of the mixed classes." By Manu it was laid down that "the abode of the Chandala and Swapaca must be out of the town. They must not have the use of entire vessels. Their sole wealth must be dogs and asses. Their clothes must be the mantles of the deceased; their dishes for food broken pots; their ornaments rusty iron; continually must they roam from place to place. Let no man who regards his duty, religious and civil, hold any intercourse with them, and let food be given to them in potsherds, but not by the hand of the giver." Chandra (moon).--An exogamous sept of Kuruba. The name Chandravamsapu (moon people) is taken by some Razus, who claim to be Kshatriyas, and to be descended from the lunar race of kings of the Mahabharata. Chanipoyina (those who are dead).--An exogamous sept of Orugunta Kapu.
