- Thoranam (Tamil: தோரணம் IAST Tōraṇam) are hanging decorations in Tamil Nadu. These decorations are rooted in Tamil culture. The history of this decoration extends back to the Sangam period. In those days there were no printed invitations, so the decorations served to indicate to people visiting that place whether it is a happy occasion or mourning. Thoranam is made up of tender coconut leaf blades and is made in two different types. Thoranam is mentioned in a song sung by 8th century Andal pasuram, Nachiar Tirumozhi of Divya Prabandha in Tamil literature: வாரணம் ஆயிரம் சூழ வலம் செய்துநாரண நம்பி நடக்கின்றான் என்றெதிர்பூரண பொற்குடம் வைத்துப் புறமெங்கும்தோரணம் நாட்டக் கனாக்கண்டேன் தோழீ நான் Meaning : I had a dream oh friend! The town was decked with festoons and golden urns. Surrounded by a thousand caparisoned elephants, our Kannan came towards me (to marry me). She explains to Krishna about the dream she had. (en)
