Lifestyle of Ancient Peoples in Kalithokai

T, Geethanjali

Abstract

The Tamil people divided their lives into two types of love life and chastity life and tried to live according to their respective norms. Among these, the purpose of this article is to explore the elements of life such as love, domestic respect, hospitality, and customs of the leader through the songs of the Kali. Based on the collected data, categorical analysis and descriptive analysis have been used as research approaches in this study. These texts are based on the virtue of life. In the Sangam literature, we find elements of the ancient life and essential social superiority, which, though changing from time to time, remain forever. If you want to know the antiquity, glory and historical features of a race, you can know it through the place where those people lived, the language they used, their art and cultural elements. Based on this, it can be known that Tamils had a highly civilized way of life three thousand years ago. Through this research paper, the aspects related to the life of ancient Tamils in Kalithokai are to be explored.
