Oyilattam

[2] It was traditionally a dance where a few men would stand in a row with two kerchiefs perform rhythmic steps to the musical accompaniment, with the number of dancers increasing; over the past ten years women have also started performing this dance.

Typically, the musical accompaniment is the Thavil and the performers have coloured handkerchiefs tied to their fingers[3] and wear ankle bells.

Oyilattam is one of the folk arts identified for mainstreaming by the Tamil university.

It is a dance used after harvest to protect the grains from birds.
