Sandilyan

Sandilyan is a Tamil author recognised for influencing Tamil literature to a degree comparable to Kalki Krishnamurthy.

He is known for his historical based novels which includes Kadal Pura, Jeeva Boomi, Cheran Selvi, Kanni Madam, Raja Thilagam, Raja Muthirai, Pallava Thilakam, and Moukini Vanam. The author's other famous novels are Yavana Rani, KaniMaadam, Vilai Rani and Mannan Magal.

The author is not only well known but also has a rather unusual name. The name 'Sandilyan' is actually derived from the "Sandilya" gothram. He belongs to a clan of humans believed to be the descendants of rishi Sandilyan.

Sandilyan is not just a well known and respected author but his stories are also published in magazines as episodes.
