1 Ayyavazhi is a Hindu sect which is actually a Dharmic belief-system originated in the mid-19th century in Southern India

2 It is a monotheistic or henotheistic religion that is centered on the life and preaching of Ayya Vaikundar.

3 It believes in just one particular god out of several and follows this philosophy through instructions and slogans found in the religious books Akilattirattu Ammanai and Arul Nool.

4 Although Ayyavazhi shares many ideas in its mythology with the popular Hinduism, still both the beliefs are different in many ways.

5 Pathi is the worship place for Ayyavazhi followers, having a relatively large structure like that of a temple

6 The Ayyavazhi people use a unique religious mark of Tilak, where they apply vertical flame-shaped white mark on the forehead that represents Aanma Jyothi or Atman.

7 The exact number of Ayyavazhi practitioners is unknown since they are reported as Hindus during Indian censuses.
