Abstract

Tamil language consists of three categories namely Unit, Music Drama. Drama is known as the queen of arts. The drama is very ancient and unique. Drama is a combination of both Unit, Music and performed as a story. The performing arts are narrative based and include street dance, archery, puppet show, costume dance, drama, and liturgical dance. Today, both the words ‘drama’ and koothu have different meanings. The songs have increased, the prose has improved, and the facilities like stage decoration have decreased is Koothu. The drama is full of facilities like songs, prose, beautiful stage, sound, light etc. Drama was considered as a branch of Koothu. Narrators say that drama is a story-driven speech. Drama is the change and development of Ku in the post 19th century period. Associate teachers were given as theater actors and professors of drama. It can be seen that the names of Koothu are given as Rama Drama Siruthondar drama, Arichandra drama. The development of street play is drama. Koothu are performed in the open air in villages and are performed for the people by folk artists. This can also be considered as rural drama. It can be seen that the drama, which first started as a street play, then turned into a stage play and developed into a literary play, has evolved and progressed and the old traditional folk plays are dying out. A song from natrinai paalai song 9 is mentioned as an example here to prove about mans trust on God due to his need. There is no known reason for the beliefs that have arisen in human life. Man was afraid of the obstacles, diseases and problems he encountered in his life. Hope was born as a result. He started doing many remedies based on faith to solve a problem. After that, he performed many rituals like sacrifices as a way of making amends to God. By doing so he was confident that everything would be fine. Through performances, rituals and ceremonies, the people of the country get what they want by begging or making amends with their faith In God. Thus in this article we can see what are the beliefs of the country people through the play performed in Thirukalyana Matha Shrine.
