Cultures Shown by the History of Holy Places in Pillaittamil Literature

Abstract

One of the main civilizations of Tamil is culture. It has been said in ancient times that 'Characterization is singing and behaving'. Considering this culture, the cultural elements that are taking place in literature have been studied in detail. ‘Pillaithamil’ is a genre of Tamil literature in which poets imagine their favourite God, the Goddess, the king, and eminent poets as small children and sing. In this way, there are seven Pillaithamil literatures about God Muruga under study. This study explains in detail the history and culture of the Pillaithamil literature, such as Thiruchendur Murugan Pillaithamil, Kumaramalai Murugan Pillaithamil, Athitthala Murugan Pillaithamil, Seyur Murugan Pillaithamil, Muthukumaraswamy Pillaithamil, Tiruporur Murugan Pillaithamil, and Etikku Murugan Pillaithamil. This review is based on establishing and telling about ancient Tamil culture through the use of architecture, painting, and sculpture from their history.
