Meivazhi Salai

Meivazhi Salai is a village in the Illuppur taluk, Pudukkottai district, Tamil Nadu, India.

Only thatched huts are allowed to be built so all the occupants are not differentiated in terms of wealth.

The rules were framed by the founder of the Meivazhi religion, so that the people will not be distracted by television and other modern amenities.

However, people eventually started relying upon a solar-based power supply for essential purposes such as lighting.

[2] The village also forbids smoking, alcohol, gambling, and theft and practices vegetarianism.
