The Worship Tradition of the Tamils in the Sangam Akam Scriptures

Abstract

The events and rituals that continue from the birth to the death of man are based on faith. Agriculture, food, medicine, music, koothu, astrology, worship, rituals, etc. are all regarded as traditional. From generation to generation, man has accepted what is beneficial from his experiences as customs, traditions, and manners. Their descendants have worshipped the deities with reason. The woman leader fell in love with the one who belonged to the hilly area and had solved the difficulties in the place of preservation of the grains cultivated. Seeing that she was not sleeping without eating, the foster mother mistakenly thought that the woman leader was suffering from some disease and went to the temple and made an offertory to Lord Muruga, slaughtered the goats, and worshipped him. Moreover, efforts have been made to cure their daughter's illness by performing a prayer and by rolling dice. Our soldiers who go to battle have been worshipping Kotravai and praying for their victory. In memory of the dead, they planted a sepulchral stone and worshipped it. They have been worshipping God for the rain. These messages are based on evidence.
