Caṅkam (Saṅgam) literature (viz., Pattupāṭṭu) brings out the details regarding the land, the area, the dressing of kuṟavai kūttu (a dance form danced in a circle by the women of the hill tracts). The ancient works, Pattupāṭṭu (a collection of ten ancient Tamil poems) and Eṭṭutokai (the eight anthologies of the Caṅkam period) give details about the art of dance in the Caṅkam period.
Pattupāṭṭu (the ten idylls) comprises:
