Kanyarkali

Kanniyar Kali is a folk dance ritual performed in the temples of villages in the taluks of Alathur and Chittur, Palakkad district, Kerala, India. The event is usually a part of Vishu celebrations, occurring after the Vela in the months of April and May. It is an agricultural festival dance of the Nair castes. Kanniyar Kali, despite the name of the Virgin, does not have anything to do with the Kannaki cult.
