Hagiography
<p>The Nayanars were a group of 63 Tamil Hindu saints who lived during the 6th to 8th centuries CE and were devoted to the Hindu god Shiva. They played a significant role in the Bhakti movement in South India, alongside the Alvars who were devoted to Vishnu. Sundarar initially compiled the list of Nayanars, and it was later expanded by Nambiyandar Nambi and Sekkizhar.</p> <p>The Nayanars came from various backgrounds, including different castes and occupations. The four foremost Nayanars, known as the Nalvar, are Appar, Sundarar, Sambandar, and Manikkavaasagar.</p> <p>King Raja Raja Chola I collected the hymns of the Nayanars and compiled them into the Tirumurai, a series of volumes. The Tirumurai includes the Tevaram, Tirukovayar, Tiruvasakam, and other works by the Nayanars. Sekkizhar added the Periya Puranam, which provides detailed stories of each of the 63 Nayanars.</p> <p>The list of Nayanars follows an order based on Sundarar's poem and information from Nambi and Sekkizhar. Some notable Nayanars include Tirunavukkarasar (Appar), Sundarar, Sambandar, Karaikkal Ammeiyar, Tirumular, and Manikkavacakar. Valluvar, the author of Thirukkural, is sometimes considered the 64th Nayanar in certain contexts.</p>
