panan's family

You pana (a musician plays yazh, a sting instrument)! After searching various places you have approached me.

King KilliValavan after his victory has been in his capital Uraiyur. He is to start another war. Before that you please approach him. He will crown on your head honorable ornament ‘thamarai’ made of gold. (With which you can remove your poverty).    

• Musician ‘panan’ – He has yazh, a music instrument in his hand, hungry in his stomach, stitched torn cloth in his waist and relatives struggling for food.
