Abstract
In Sangam literature, theology was structured accurately and it was an important part of the lives of the Tamil people in that period. In Tamilian's custom, people were greatly devoted and faith towards the God. They prayed God to help them succeed in their attempts, to avoid harm and to have peaceful life in the present and after life. Worshiping of God began in the early days of the Sangam period. First they started worshipping of nature and it grows into an ancestral worship and then flourished to religious worship today. In this article we will see about how the deities were worshipped by the people of the Sangam period.
