Abstract

In the social tradition of Tamil Nadu, early human beings worshipped nature and the five elements of nature, fire, rain, air, space, and earth. As an extension of this, ancestor worship, also known as worshipping the Dead, has existed in the folk tradition since time immemorial. Continuously divided into Minor Deities and Great Deities, many social groups have been worshipping in order to maintain the social restrictions of their lives. The impact of worship from the Pre-Sangam era to the present, the modulation, the characteristics of goddesses, and its consequences, explain future trends.
