It is customary to begin the historical period of the ancient Tamil country with the Sangam period. The Sangam period is calculated to be from the 10th century BC to the 2nd century AD. The literature that emerged during this period is considered as Sangam literature. Sangam literature is divided into Ettutogi and Patuppattu. Shiva worship is widely discussed in these two types of literature. Only specific information about the Saiva worship events shown in these literatures is indicated here.
