Tirumurai

Tirumurai is a sacred collection of Tamil devotional poetry that forms the foundation of Tamil Shaivism, dedicated to Lord Shiva. Composed over many centuries by saints and poets, it encapsulates religious hymns, philosophical teachings, and spiritual practices. These texts are highly revered in South India and are often sung or recited in temples and devotional gatherings. The Tirumurai not only highlights devotion and spirituality but also reflects cultural, social, and historical aspects of Tamil society, serving as both spiritual guide and literary treasure.
