Abstract

When we closely approach the lifestyle of the people of the Sangam period, the people of that time have their own lifestyles and occupations according to the backgrounds of five landforms Kurinji, Mullai, Marutham, Neithal and Paalai. The lifestyle and culture of the people of these five lands have the common elements of the people of the Sangam period, but when we approach these subtly, it is possible to know that each land's people operate with their own unique lifestyle norms, social structure, and cultural elements. The people of Marutham land, who know the occupation of plowing, do not know occupations like robbery and murder that was followed by Paalai land people. The people of the Nellai land who caught fish in the sea do not know the professions like rice paddy and weeding. Each land people have their own unique land identity, occupation, lifestyle, worship, ritual, customs, food, dress, clothing, etc. The hypothesis of this article is to examine the life style of Marutham land people as described in Ettuthogai anthology take the way of life of the people of Marudham lands and describes about the high cultural thoughts of Tamil people.
