This form of art is devoted to ‘Thirumal’ (Maha Vishnu) and is performed by village folk belonging especially to the Nataka community. In this dance the performers forming a group, with one of them acting the buffoon, dance to the music of a percussion instrument like ‘urumi’. The classical songs and the measured steps with graceful movements are the special features of Sevai Attam. In Sangam works this had been known as ‘Pinther Kuruvai’. In those days this was performed at the rear of a chariot procession either of a king or a deity.
