Скачать или смотреть Rituals for spirits in Kerala!

When the entire Malayali community celebrates Onam with feasts and dances, the Kuravan tribe in Kerala does something unique—they call upon the spirits of their ancestors for blessings.

The main day of Onam is Thiruvonam, and the day before is Uthradam. On this day, the Kuravan people offer wine, rice cakes, roasted rice, incense, and camphor to their ancestors, praying for their happiness and a better year ahead.

This ritual is called ‘Kalayam Vaikkal’.
During the harvest season in January-February, they perform another similar ritual called ‘Uchara’.

These traditions are believed to protect the village from evil spirits and bring prosperity and well-being.
