Deity worship in Ganapathiraman's works

Abstract

Man has undergone various development since he appeared in the world. When man thought about the environment he lived in, about himself, the thoughts about the appearance of the world, the appearance of life, birth and death he understood that there is something beyond man’s power and that is God. He began to think about it deeply with nature and as a result worship of God arose based on feelings of fear, struggle and gratitude. The worship that emerged thus tended to worship nature first and then from first sense to sixth sense things. In this case, the Tamil community divided land and time according to the environment they lived in and created a mythology that predicts life and worshiped different deities. Then they built temple for these deities, followed proper rituals and worshipped them.
