The findings suggest a deep cultural continuity dating back to Sangam period writings
A study by Palkarai V. Sivaranjani of the Ramanathapuram Archaeological Research Foundation has established that more than a hundred villages in Tamil Nadu carry names drawn from deer and antelope species cited in classical Tamil literature.
The findings suggest a deep cultural continuity dating back to Sangam period writings.
The research identifies two categories of ruminants referenced in literature: Iralai and Kalai. Antelopes are characterised by horns that do not branch and remain permanently, whereas deer grow branching antlers which they shed annually.
