Abstract

Religion is an integral part of people’s lives from ancient times to the present day. It is impossible to separate religion from them. People believed that every action and event happened because of religion. From the common people to the king who ruled the country, this faith was ingrained. It is called faith in God. Where both love and valor are manifested, sometimes their faith in God is manifested. Murugan, the god of Tamils, was worshiped in five types of lands in ancient times, considering it as the land deity. Murugan, who was greatly worshiped by thepeople of Kurinji nila, is today worshiped as a great deity and a Tamil god all over the world. Let us examine that the processions, chants and rituals performed to Murugan during the Sangam period are being performed today.
