Paniyar Kali is a very masculine dance performed by the men of the Paniyar tribe. The primitive percussion instruments like Karu, Para and Udukku are used in the dance performance and dancers – numbering about 8 to 10 – stand in a circle with their hands linked together. They move around rhythmically and stamp the ground in perfect rhythm to the beats of the percussion instruments.
It is interesting to watch the dance gathering momentum and the performers uttering peculiar cries in high pitch during the dance. You can also watch as they move, the circle is expanded and contracted swiftly many times.
