Tamil Thirukural

Description

The Thirukkural is a classic Tamil text in the form of couplets dealing with the everyday virtues of an individual. This WordPress plugin offers a widget to display a random Thirukural in Tamil. The widget also displays chapter, section and explanations by three different scholars(Dr. Mu.Karunanidhi, Dr. Mu.Varadhrajan, Kalaimamani Solomon Pappaiah) for each kural. You could choose which explanation to be shown from the widget options. More customization options coming soon!.

FAQ

How many Kurals are currently added?

Since version 3.0, all 1330 kurals are added.

Is there anything I need to configure?

The plugin works out of the box. But to make the widget look perfect for your theme, I strongly suggest you to play with and adjust the font size and styling options in the widget admin screen to get the best looking widget for your website theme.

I have a suggestion. How do I contact you?

The best way to contact me is through the support forums. You can also email me at mail@sandeep.cc
