Irattaipulavar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Irattaipulavar (meaning The twin poets) or Irattaiyar were brothers born in Alandurai of Chola Nadu during 14th century in the Sengunthar Kaikola Mudaliar community . The elder, called Mudhusuriyar 'Old Sun' was born lame; the younger, Ilanjchuriyar 'Young Sun,' was blind.[1] They went about as wanderers, the blind man carrying his lame brother on the shoulders, complementing each other in poetry as in life, one man completing extempore what the other began. They were contemporaries of Kalamegam.
