Lost land and the myth of Kumari Kandam
Authors
Dr. T Kala Rani
Abstract
Kumari Kandam is a mythical lost continent
believed to have been located south of present-day India in the Indian Ocean.
This landmass is often associated with the ancient Tamil civilization and is
said to have been submerged due to a catastrophic event. The concept of Kumari
Kandam has been a part of Tamil literature and culture for centuries, and it is
often linked to the idea of Lemuria, a hypothetical lost continent proposed in
the 19th century to explain geological similarities between Africa, India, and
Madagascar.
