Abstract:
We come to know about the ways in which people carried on their life with the help of Koothu and
music, particularly the ways in which paanars developed music and Koothu with the help of musical
instruments. Also we come to know about the musical parts and musical notes described in literatures
like Tholkappiyam and Atrupadai and how these musical notes were used by Sangam period musicians
i.e., Paanars to develop Music and Koothu. Because both music and Koothu were an integral part of
life of Sangam people. This essay analyses whether Music and Koothu are developing themselves
according to changing times and being a part of people’s life or they remain without any changes.
