The Nayanars or Nayanmars were devotional saint poets of Shiva in Tamil Nadu who were active between the fifth and the tenth centuries CE. The Tamil Shaiva (related to Shiva) hagiography Periya Puranam (a volume of the Tirumurai written during the 13th century CE) narrates the history of each of sixty-three Nayanars and the history of nine Thokai Adiyars.
