Abstract

The word canalization means to guide. Koothar, Panar, Porunar, and Viraliyar are called artists. Singing, dancing, and directing are their professions. References to these artists and some traditions related to them can be found in the Tolkappiyam. This article aims to present the records of these artists in the Sangam literature Pattuppattu and Ettutogai.
