Abstract
Folklore is the culture of particular people protected by their beliefs and customs. Beliefs are created and protected by a community of people. Man’s selfishness and social consequences are developing these beliefs. Beliefs often seem to be the basis of fear, but when we do not perceive supernatural activities and when we are unable to explain the reasons for some events in life. Our mind creates some reason for it. And these reasons become a kind of belief. Beliefs are passed down from one generation to another. From birth to death we see man having various kind of beliefs. Beliefs play a major role in human life and it drives human life. This article examines the beliefs and omens of the ancient Tamils through Sangam Literature.
