Pulluvan community is an indigenous community under the Hindu religion in the state of Kerala. This small community of people perform Pulluvan Paattu (Praising hymns) in sacred groves and their associated temples.
The community of Pulluvans have been practicing various folklores, the prominent being the “Pulluvan Pattu” a form of serpent worship. This folklore is also known by other terms as Sarpam Pattu, Sarpam Thullal ,Nagam Pattu, Sarpolsavam, Pambhum Thullal or Pambum Kalam. Most art forms of Pulluvan community are ritualistic in nature, though songs are based on puranas and agriculture.
The Pulluvan tribes consider serpents as their presiding deities and perform sacrifices and sing songs. During the rituals, the songs of the Pulluva community praises “holy serpents “such as Ananthan, Manimudgaram, Adishesham and Mahapadman.
The Pulluvan pattu is accompanied by different musical instrumemnts that are made only by the Pulluvan community. They include the one string veena, commonly known as Pulluvan Veena, the Pulluva Kudam, an earthern pot with string fastened to it, Pulluvan Mizhavu and cymbals. Out of these the Pulluvan veena plays a major part during the rituals.
During the Sarpam Thullal night, the komarams (mostly women in a state of trance) turn into oracles
of snake gods. They express their emotions or any issues to be addressed by the family.
Pulluvan community have been always connected to biodiversity. The word Pulluvan itself means a person who predicts from the sound of birds. The community have been performing various rituals inside the sacred groves and their associated temples from ages. The Pulluvan Pattu although praises on agriculture, it also instils in the people a need for biodiversity conservation. Pulluvan folklore can be considered as a form of nature worship whereby almost all the living creatures are considered as sacred and thereby helps in its protection. It’s said that listening to a Pulluvan Pattu is listening to the oral history of the state.
