Abstract

Rain has always been likened to benevolence by poets across all ages. Everyone recognises that rain is the fundamental source that sustains all living beings in this world. This is precisely why poets have metaphorically compared rain to charity. Many of the poetic references that describe rain in symbolic terms align remarkably with modern agricultural science a realisation that becomes apparent to discerning readers. While rain is often used metaphorically in literature, the ancient Tamils also possessed a profound understanding of the scientific reasons behind the occurrence of rain. The aim of this study is to highlights the scientific insights about rain as reflected in classical Tamil literature.
