Abstract
The feelings, actions, and habits of the individual are the first steps in the development of culture. Another stage is the cultural development of societies formed by individuals living together. Culture is the third stage when the lifestyle, habits, artistic sensibility, and maturity of thought formed when many communities work together to form a community and intertwine as a community are all manifested as a kind of social thought. No mention of Nadars is found in Sangam Tamil literature. The state of the Nadars is known from the references of Christian missionaries in the early nineteenth century. At the beginning of the 19th century, social reform movements emerged in many places around the world, and there was awareness among the people of society. At that time, the status of the people of the Nadar community was backward in the social hierarchy. The word "wise men" is another name for Chanars. It is no exaggeration to say that in the social and religious hierarchies, the Chanars were slightly superior to the lower castes and a little inferior to the upper castes, and the status of the Nadars, who were denied entry into the temple to worship, due to the democratic renaissance social strata in today's era, the present state that this community has reached in the social strata and religious hierarchies is a pioneering society for the various ethnic groups that may exist in the world. In this article, we will see the importance of cultural elements such as economic resources, education, artistic development, morals, constitution and traditional elements of clan deity worship such as temple structure, worship methods, festivals, and social participation, etc. in making social reform ideas flourish.
