What You'll Learn
The golden age of Agham literature or Sangam Literature precedes all other golden ages in the Tamil history. Sangam poems fall under two broad categories: puram (the heroic) and agham (the erotic). Agham poems are mode of numerous verses composed by different poets at various times and places. Agham concentrates on love sentiments and events related to it. They stand as the finest examples of classical poetry, both in theme and manner of expression.
