This particular aspect could be traced in the traditional culture of Kerala.
The indigenous Theyyam cult under the influence of the great classical Indian tradition incorporated new ideas and legends.  However its form and content did not change very much.
Therefore the Tamil Sangam culture with variations still continues in this region.  The dance of Velan had taken new forms and developed into the present day cult of Theyyam over a period of 1500 years.  This uninterrupted continuity of the Sangam tradition makes Theyyam a prominent religious system of north Kerala.
