While they were on the move, they chanted hymns praising Lord Shiva. The Saiva Nayanar poets fall under the same category. The Alvars were known as the forefathers of the Bhakti Movement because of their emphasis on Bhakti and frequent allusions to the Bhagavata Puranas. The anthology of their poetry known as Divya Prabandham evolved into a potent work of Vaishnava literature. They built temples like Srirangam and disseminated Vaishnavism's ideals.

Traditional Hinduism is centered on the Tamil region of India. Hinduism - The vibrant Hindu culture of Tamil Nadu Some of the stories of popular Tamil novels depict the way of life of Brahmins in rural Tamil Nadu, portraying their ceremonies, traditions, and conventions. A variety of myths, folklores, and even Greek and Roman narratives were interwoven into this romance, which was primarily created for the reader's pleasure. Its development may have been aided by the huge increase in the number of Tamils who have received Modern education and have access to well-known English literature.

As a result, literary Tamil's higher registers tend to sound more classical. Due to Tamil's greater extent of diglossia and the respect classical Tamil enjoys, literary Tamil has managed to keep a large portion of its vocabulary and formal structures.
