Organisers said the families had moved away from their ancestral faith over earlier generations but chose to reconnect with their traditional practices and cultural identity. As part of the ceremony, participants offered prayers to their Kuladevata, Murugan Swamy, in what organisers described as a symbolic act of reaffirmation.
The event included ritual offerings and community gatherings, with volunteers from both organisations supervising the proceedings. Representatives said the initiative aimed to support families seeking to revive their ancestral customs and reintegrate into long-held spiritual traditions.
Local organisers added that similar programmes are being planned in other districts for families expressing interest in re-embracing their heritage.
