Abstract

Community refers to a specific group of people and a larger group of people living in a homogeneous geographical area. We can call the Tamil speaking people as Tamil society. Through Sangam literary songs, we can know that worship has been practiced in Tamil society since ancient times. A collection of short stories called Kottai Bommakka written by the novelist Kumarakesan is about the worship of small idols and especially about the sacrifice and offerings to God. This article particularly deals about the offerings given to God.
