Question
How were offerings carried during the ancient period?
Solution
Kavadi Aattam is one of the predominant folk dances of Tamil Nadu. A Kavadi is made of bamboo strips and a light pole. When the ancient Tamils went on pilgrimages, they used to carry offerings tied on either end of a long stick, balanced on their shoulders. To lessen the boredom of the long travel, they sang and danced in praise of God. Kavadi Aattam traces its origin to this practice. This led to the composition of special songs for carrying the Kavadi.
