About this document
Tholkappiyam: Akam and Puram Poetry by xoh23028 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the classification of Tamil poetry into two categories - Akam and Puram. Akam poetry deals with inner feelings and themes of love, while Puram poetry focuses on outer, public themes like war and kingship. Both categories are further divided into subcategories called Thinais which reference different landscapes and themes. The document also examines how these conventions are used in the classical Tamil literature Cilappatikaram.
