'''Udumalai Narayana Kavi''' (25 September 1899 – 23 May 1981) was an [[India]]n [[poet]] and [[lyricist]] known for his work in [[Tamil films]].

==Early life==
Udumalai Narayana was born on 25 September 1899 in Poolavadi, a small village in [[Udumalaipettai]] taluk, [[Tiruppur district]], [[Tamil Nadu]], [[India]]. His parents died at a very young age and poverty deprived him of school. With the help of his brother, he made a small living selling matchboxes to the nearby villages. Even when young he had a keen interest in play and music. He initially started off acting in plays at the local temple and then got connected with some leading play groups in Tamil Nadu. Today's Kollywood is an amalgamation of several of those play groups.

==Songwriting==
He is best known for writing several lyrics that were used in the freedom movement in his early days and between 1950 and 1972. He wrote lyrics for several [[Tamil language|Tamil]] movies.<ref>Sundararaj Theodore Baskaran ''The eye of the serpent: an introduction to Tamil cinema'' 1996 Page 215 " Udumalai Narayana Kavi ... He entered films and wrote the dialogues and songs for [[Krishna Leela]] (1933). ... N.S.Krishnan invited him to work in his film Izhanda Kathal (1941). More of Krishnan's films followed. Narayana Kavi's atheistic and rationalistic ideas came to be expressed through songs. Through N.S. Krishnan, he got to know about C.N. Annadurai."</ref>
Several of the movies that he wrote lyrics for were box office hits including ''Velaikari'', ''Nallathambi'', ''Poompuhar'', ''Manohara''. He was affectionately known as "Paguththarivu Kaviraayar" or simply "Kaviraayar" in the movie industry. He was also associated with [[N. S. Krishnan]] the famous comedian in the 1940s. In Manohara, he was paid 15000 per song , which was highly paid in those days. He written only for PUC Chinnappa , while Papanasam sivam written songs for Thiyagaraja bhagavathar.
