Abstract
Description
This is a performance of traditional dance for the purpose of recording. 5 men dance around a vilakku, 1 nazhi rice, 1 coconut, some betel leaves, money, and areca nut, all kept on a banana leaf, singing the song. They stamp their feet and there are also some hand gestures. The song is about a girl losing her chain. The man promises that when it is summer, he will bring a goldsmith from Kozhikode (neighbouring city) and make a new one for her.
