Abstract: Sangam literature, regarded as classical literary works, portrays the rich and meaningful lives of ancient Tamils. Through Sangam literature, we can understand the art, culture, civilization, lifestyle, religious practices, beliefs, customs and traditions of ancient Tamil society. Human beings, who lived in harmony with nature, carefully observed its various characteristics and creatively transformed their emotions and experiences into artistic expressions, thereby giving rise to different forms of art. These art forms flourished through the application of human knowledge, creativity and skills. This article explains the various forms of performing arts found in the Tamil epic Silappathikaram and highlights their significance in ancient Tamil society.
