Abstract

Sangam Tamil consists of three major parts viz., Poetry, Music, and Drama. This is something that no other language in the world has. Hence, Tamil can also be called Muthamizh (The three kinds of literature in Tamil). Drama, along with music, has been developing gradually since time immemorial. Theatrical music is a mirror of worldly events. The literature also makes it clear that the Tamils excelled in art and culture. Therefore, on the basis of literary references, Poetic Tamil, Music Tamil, and Drama Tamil are the three Tamils that make history in many aspects. This approach seeks to explain from a variety of perspectives the work done by Thavathiru Sankaradas Swamigal on Musical Drama Text, mention of literary dramas such as play and dance, and his contribution to Tamil music and drama.
