The Periyapuranam, an important text in Tamil literature, not only serves as a biographical account of the Shaivite saints known as the Nayanars but also offers deep insights into the societal norms, values, and traditions of ancient Tamil Nadu. Among these, the theme of hospitality stands out as a significant facet, encapsulating the relationship between individuals, communities, and the divine. This paper explores the various dimensions of hospitality depicted in the Periyapuranam, examining how it interweaves with human life, religious practices, and cultural traditions.
