Puram (Tamil: புறம், puṟam ?, Lit. exterior) is one of two genres of Classical Tamil literature. The concept of life style of human beings falls on two categories personal and public. The subject matters spoken on personal life of love affairs is called Akam and that of other is called Puram.

Tolkappiyam, the earliest work available in Tamil divides each genres into seven strands (Thinai) comparing and connecting the one in personal with the other in public life of style.

Another one work that belongs to a period of thousand years later, Purapporul Venba-malai, divides the Puram concept into twelve according to his view, without concerning the other part life-style.

Personal name of a person will never be identified in Akam concept of literature of poem, as it is common all.

The genre of Puram concept speaks on the Excellency of life style of different people. As the kings are famous, their life-style of war and gifts are spoken in plenty.
