This tribe follows some peculiar customs, one of which is the death dance. At the death of one of its members, the tribe congregates at the village square or any other open area and dances and sings around the dead body. They believe that this provides a place for the dead soul in heaven, where the gods would greet him. This dance can also be called the dance of the departure of the soul from the earth or the dance of salvation. Writer-director Brijendra Rehi's team videotaped this death dance on October 2, 1988. amidst the Irula tribal hamlet of Padavayal, a village in the Attapadi tribal area in Kerala state. A head of the Irula community had given information about the death dance ritual or custom. The Attapadi forest area where the Irulas live is a very poor and backward area. This tribe faces many difficulties due to hunger, diseases, and illiteracy. Darpanvideo Hello friends, and welcome to our channel, Darpanvideo.
