Royal palanquin bearers. The name is derived from the Tamil word Civikai meaning "palanquin" and the suffix -ar denoting honorific plural. [4] [5] The headmen of them were known as Kūriyan, meaning "proclaimer", in reference to his proclaiming or announcement of the titles of the person whom he carries before the palanquin.
