Kuravan Kurathi Attam is a traditional folk dance form that originated in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is also known as “Kummi Attam” or “Kummi Dance” and is typically performed by women during festive occasions such as weddings, harvest festivals, and other cultural events.

The dance is usually performed in a circular formation, with women holding hands and moving in a rhythmic pattern. The dancers wear colourful traditional attire such as sarees or long skirts, and they often adorn themselves with floral garlands and other decorations.

The music for Kuravan Kurathi Attam is provided by a set of traditional instruments such as the thavil, mridangam, and urumee, which are played by male musicians. The dance usually begins with a slow and graceful movement and gradually picks up speed as the tempo of the music increases.

The name of the dance comes from the two characters, Kuravan and Kurathi, who are believed to be tribal or gypsy-like figures in Tamil folklore. According to the legend, the Kuravan and Kurathi were said to be wandering minstrels who would entertain people with their songs and dances.
