Answers
Answer:
Velan
Character Analysis
Velan, a local from the small village of Mangal in southern India, comes across Raju sitting on the banks of the river one day. Velan is trusting and respectful. Upon setting eyes on Raju, he seems to identify something spiritual, and immediately puts his faith in him as a holy man. It is Velan’s faith in Raju that precipitates the latter’s transformation into a holy man of renown, as other villagers also begin to put their trust in his powers. Velan’s trust is such that, even after Raju confesses to him his life of deceit and trickery, his faith remains unshaken: and it is this act of trust that motivates Raju to genuinely try to help the villagers by undertaking a fast to bring about rains to end the drought under which they suffer. Velan acts as Raju’s support to the very last, helping him down to the river to hold vigil on the final day of the fast.
