Who visits the forest in the Tamil epic Silappadikaram?
Senguttuvan
In the Tamil epic Silappadikaram, it is Senguttuvan, the Chera king, who journeys into the forest and beyond, undertaking an expedition to the Himalayas to bring back a stone for carving the image of Kannagi.
This expedition forms a major part of the later sections of the epic, where Senguttuvan establishes the cult of Kannagi as the goddess of chastity, Pattini.
Ilango Adigal is credited as the author of the Silappadikaram, not a character who travels into the forest within the narrative.
Hence, the answer is Senguttuvan.
