Thevaram

Thevaram (Tamil: தேவாரம்) refers to the collection of verses sung on the primary god of the Shaivite sect of Hindu religion, Lord Shiva by tree Tamil poets (known as Saiva Kuruvars) - Thirugnana Sambanthar (aka Campantar), Tirunavukkarasar (aka Appar) and Sundaramoorthy Nayanar (aka Sundarar). The former two lived in the 7th century AD while the latter around 8th century AD. All songs in Tevaram are believed to be in sets of 10 songs (called pathikam in Tamil).
