The three great pillars of Art- " Iyal (writing)", "Isai (music)" and "Nadagam (drama)" -have always been intertwined with the lives of Tamil Community, since time immemorial. Since the glorious days of “Sanga Kalam”, many great Tamil Scholars have contributed to the richness of Tamil Literature with their incomparable and immortal literary works. Our Sangam takes pride in the fact that ours was the first organisation in Muscat to impart teaching of Tamil Language to the children of our members, who, otherwise, would not have had an opportunity to learn their mother tongue. We consider this is as one of our sangam’s greatest services towards our beloved “Tamil Thai”. Over the years, our Sangam have organized Dance Ballets, Dramas, Sports events, drawing competitions, cooking competitions, summer camps etc which have won great acclaim.
