Abstract

Mullai is one of the five types of Tamil lands in ancient Tamil Nadu. This land was named after the Mullai flower. The forest and the forest edifice are called Mullai Nilam. The Mullai flower is pure beauty and has a pleasant aroma from the flowers that bloom in the evening during the autumn in the Mullai land. It is this mullai flower that attracts the hearts of the man who returns home after work and the wives who face their husbands while they are at home. Therefore, the Mullai flower became a symbolic flower for the pure, happy life of the lover. Mullai meant chastity. The various visual recordings and scenes in the songs formed the background to this moral interpretation. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to examine the "Visual Background in Mullait Thinai."
