Agastya, the first SiddharPambatti Siddhar Sannidhi at Marudamalai Temple
The Siddhar (Tamil (romanized) cittar, from Sanskrit siddha)[1] in Tamil tradition is a perfected individual who has attained spiritual powers called siddhi.
Historically, Siddhar also refers to the people who were early-age wandering adepts that dominated ancient Tamil teaching and philosophy. They were knowledgeable in science, technology, astronomy, literature, fine arts, music, drama, and dance and provided solutions to common people's illnesses and advice for their future.[2] Some of their ideologies are considered to have originated during the First Sangam period.[3][4][5]
