Abstract

In ancient times, a nomadic community called the Panar community lived in the Tamil landscape between North-West and South-East. They are not people who live in one place but move around in search of their livelihood. Sangam literature records these people as Tolkudinars who live in search of the King and Vallals. The artistic character of these tribes was also appreciated during the formation of the state. One of the honors given by the kings and ministers to these people who lived with their art was gold Lotus. The research paper is also about its legacy.
