Answer:
Alvars were devotees of Vishnu and Nayanars were devotees of Shiva. They travelled from one place to another singing in praise of their Gods. Chola kings supported them by giving them land and grants. The temple at Chidambaram, Thanjavar and Gangaikanda Cholapuram were constructed under their patronage.
