Abstract

Nature is paramount in the history of mankind. Nature was close to human beings when they lived as an ethnic group in primitive society. Ethnic peoples lived in forests, mountains, land     s, seas and arid lands. Here, the mother is given priority. The mother had a unique identity in this community. Mother lived in harmony with nature. She traveled across the land. There were no restrictions on homosexuality or male sexuality. She chose to live with men who were physically and mentally strong. Her choice is uncontrollable. It is possible that her land brought her closer to natural life. She was permanently housed when her mother became pregnant and had to stay in one place. Adam wandered the fields for food and engaged in the business of collecting food. She was made homeless by the presence of the woman. Immersed with nature, she brought natural food to the farmer who was in need of food near her place of residence. The prosperity of the crop brought happiness to the wanderer for food. He gave up the wave and snatched the crop from the woman. Thus the woman was alienated from nature. This is where we approach a female creator. There is a need to explore the natural expressions in the songs of the 41 female creators who sang Sangam poems. The article explores the co-occurrence of nature and intimacy in the songs of Allur Nanmullaiyar in the study.
