Kerala has a huge sizeable population extending itself into about 40 types of tribes. Districts like Wayanad and Kasaragod have the largest tribal population.

Kurichiyar Nayadi, Mullakurumbar, Uralikurumbar, Paniya Mudaga, Irula, Kadar, Muthuvan, Kanikkar, Paliyan, Malavedan, Vettuvar, Veda and Malayan are some of the prominent tribes in Kerala.
Each of these tribes has unique dance forms, essentially connected with their social life.
Elelakkaradi, Kadarkali, Kurumbarkali, Paniyarkali, Edayarkali, Mudiyattom and Vedarkali are some dance forms popular among the tribes of Kerala and most of these are performed as part of familial or social affairs like marriage and festivals.
