Nakkeerar is a medieval Tamil poet from Madurai. He is renowned for his most famous work, the ''Tirumurukāṟṟuppaṭai''.〔The Tamils Eighteen Hundred Years Ago By V. Kanakasabhai〕 He was also the author of another work called ''Iraiyanar Akapporul''. He must not to be confused with the Sangam period writer Nakkirar (c. 250 CE), who composed anthologies like the ''Neṭunalvāṭai''.〔The Smile of Murugan on Tamil Literature of South India By Kamil Zvelebil〕
He is one of the prominent characters in the ''Thiruvilaiyadal Puranam''. The Thiruvilaiyadal episodes of the confrontation of Sundareswarar (Shiva) with Nakkeerar is enacted as a part of the Meenakshi Amman Temple festival traditions of Madurai.
== Personal life ==
Nakkeerar was born in a family of chank-cutters.〔The Tamil Plutarch, Pg 60〕 It is not known when Nakkeerar had lived but it is widely assumed that he lived in the 9th century AD〔The Tamil Plutarch, Pg 59〕 during the Sangam period. According to broad consensus among historians and scholars, the hero of the epic ''PandiKovai'' was the Pandyan king Nedumaran who lived between 675 and 750 AD. Since Nakkirar was a contemporary of Nedumaran, they have concluded that he must have lived around the 8th century AD.〔Tamil Love Poetry and Poetics By Takanobu Takahashi〕
