Abstract
The Sangam Age is the first period in the history of Tamil literature. Sangam literature is a clear mirror of the life style of the people who lived in the Sangam Age. The Sangam literature also contains references to the customs, beliefs, trade practices, royal character, marriage practices, etc. of the society of the time. Many truths sung in Sangam literature have conquered time and space and are eternal truths. Tamils have lived their lives happily through Kuruntokai. Especially in domestic life, there was an understanding and a maturity of compromise. It is also known that they have lived by the principles of hospitality, material pursuit, and immeasurable love.
