<p>added Koluthunga Cholan Ulla, and Rajaraja Cholan Ulla and author information for king procession poetry</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Use dmy dates|date=August 2019}}<br /> {{unreferenced|date=June 2015}}<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;Ulā&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ({{audio|Ta-உலா.ogg|pronunciation}}) relays a &#039;&#039;[[puram (poetry)|puṟam]]&#039;&#039; concept using &#039;&#039;[[akam (poetry)|akam]]&#039;&#039; imagery. By the Middle Ages, the strict separation between &#039;&#039;akam&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;puṟam&#039;&#039; was no longer observed. [[Chola]] poet [[Ottakoothar]] wrote three Ula poems namely, [[Koluthunga Cholan Ulla]], &#039;&#039;Vikkiramacolanula&#039;&#039; and [[Rajarajan Cholan Ulla]] which come from a genre merging &#039;&#039;akam&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;puṟam&#039;&#039; called &#039;&#039;ulā&#039;&#039;. They describe the royal procession of the king through the streets observed by women. Despite their different ages and social estates, all of them experience love sickness brought on by the King&#039;s magnificence. Using the females&#039; gaze as a device, reader are meant to cast themselves in their place.<br /> <br /> == See also==<br /> * [[Sangam literature]]<br /> * [[Sangam period]]<br /> <br /> ==Further reading==<br /> *{{Citation | last=Howes | first=Jennifer | title=The courts of pre-colonial South India: material culture and kingship| publisher=Routledge | year=2003 }}<br /> *{{Citation | last=Kantaiyā | first=A. | title=Mystic love in the Tēvāram | year=1987}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Tamil poetics]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Tamil-stub}}</div>
