Abstract

Man has lived by various rituals since before he tried to live a civilized life. As civilization grows, all living beings are living their lives trapped within the triad of 'pati, pasu, pasam'. Just as cultivation brought the lands under its control for good growth, and all weeds were all removed and well cultivated, so too for an organism to grow well, our ancestors sowed the good and destroyed the evil and led a life of living with culture. There, rituals are included and guide the lives of the people. Rituals are generally divided into two types of rituals, pleasure rituals and suffering rituals. The nature of the rituals is revealed by classifying the rituals celebrated in the festivals as rituals performed in the Mangala event and the rituals performed in the Mangala event as the rituals performed in the Mangala event. And music and drama are well developed in rituals. Due to the economic crisis at the Mangala event, musical instruments such as the trumpet were reduced, but musical instruments called 'drums' were forced into the funeral ceremonies of the Mangala event. Rituals are the color of life in every human being who lives within the confines of 'arrogance, vanity, delusion'. Women play an important role in rituals. Various rituals take place, from putting the newborn baby in the cradle to experiencing various pleasures due to karma during their lifetime and burying them in the ground. The cradle-to-cradle and naming ceremony rituals are the same for the newborn male and female. For women, the yellow bathing ceremony and bracelet events are considered to be unique to women. Wedding ceremonies and death ceremonies come and go in everyone's life and go after its reaction. According to Kanmani Gunasekara's novel 'Vandarangudi', the study reveals that people are practicing rituals and worshiping God with devotion without harming the culture.
