Kammara Tribe

Kammara TribeAccording to various anthropologists who have carried on research works in the state of Kerala , there are multitudes of tribal communities who have thronged the region over passed few years. Kammara is quite significant one.

There are quite a number of people who have developed fluency in these languages. Just like many of the tribes of India, these Kammara tribes have to keep their original culture and tradition intact.

However, there are several Kammara tribes who also have adapted other religions like Hinduism and Christianity. Even some of these Kammara tribes have been converted to Buddhism also. Food gatherings as well as cultivation are the chief modes of living of these Kammara tribes. Needless to say, the economy of this Kammara tribal community follows the norms of the rural economy.

In the society of these Kammara tribes, marriage is fixed with the consent of the families of both the boy and girl. Also the cultural ebullience is observed in the manner these Kammara tribes dress up. At the times of wedding and also during several other social functions, these Kammara tribes wear colorful dresses. Kammara females also wear bright-colored saris, which is held tight by a knot on the left shoulder. They also use flowers of different colors like deep orange, bright red, yellow and purple, which add to their beauty. A hairdo is formed by braiding or twisting the hair and their noses are also `pierced` at the center and on the sides, bearing rings of several sizes.
