Kamban
Kambar, or Kamban (1180–1250), was a medieval Tamil poet. He is best known for composing the Ramavataram (popularly known as Kambaramayanam), an epic retelling of the narrative of the Hindu epic Ramayana. Written in Tamil Viruttam metre, the work incorporates classical Tamil poetic conventions (tinai) and Bhakti movement devotionalism rather than a direct translation of Valmiki's Sanskrit text. He had also authored several other literary works in Tamil including Silai Elupatu, Kangai Puranam, Sadagopar Antati and Saraswati Antati.
