About This Book

A systematic ethnographic survey of numerous southern Indian communities whose names begin with K, presenting alphabetized entries that record origins, social divisions, occupations, rites, marriage and funeral customs. It details material culture and everyday practices — boat types, food offerings, craft occupations, and caste councils — and notes variations across districts and subgroups. Observations combine field reports, local informants, and earlier accounts, often citing rituals of purification, remarriage, exogamous septs, and agricultural ceremonies. Numerous illustrations and localized case notes support comparative descriptions of social organization and customary law.
