The Birth of the Goddess
In ancient times, the mountainous regions in South India were ruled over by various tribes. One of the prominent tribal people were the Veddas, who were prevalent in the Southern part of India, including a part of Sri Lanka or Ceylon, in areas known as 'Katirkamam'. The chief of this Mountain tribe, Nambi Raj and his wife prayed to the Mountain God for a girl-child. Their prayers were answered when the chief found a new-born girl child during one of his hunting expedition. As she was found among creeper plants, they named the child as Valli and she grew up as the princess of the Mountain tribe.
In her previous birth, Valli and her sibling Deivayani (another consort of Lord Murugan) were the daughters of Maha Vishnu, and both of them undertook severe penance to become the consort of Lord Muruga, who appeared before them and gave the boon of marriage in their next birth. And in the present birth, the Goddess was destined to marry the God of Mountains, Lord Murugan and would never consider anyone else.
The Divine Revelation
Goddess Valli had her heart and soul dedicated to the Mountain God(Lord Murugan) and would always pray with fervent devotion and love, to be with Him. The Lord was moved by the innocent love of the mountain princess, and so He planned to appease her in person and awaited a right chance.
The mountain chief planned to develop a field for growing millets, and assigned Valli to take in-charge of protecting the field from birds and animals who might devour the crops. Lord Murugan saw this as an opportunity to meet the Goddess, and therefore He assumed the form of a handsome tribal hunter and appeared before her, as if he lost his way on chasing a deer during hunting. Valli did not recognize the stranger and promptly asked him to leave the place. The Hunter was about to leave and at that moment the chief was returning to the place bringing honey and fruits for Valli, the God in order to avoid being caught, turned himself into a tree. After the chief and his followers left the place, the God changed back into the hunter form and proposed his love to Valli.
