About This Book

A methodical ethnographic compendium describing communities of southern India whose names fall between K and M, providing concise entries on origins, languages, customs, occupations, ceremonies, kinship and marriage rules, social ranks, and taboos. Each entry combines local traditions, caste divisions and exogamous septs, accounts of religious observances and ritual specialists, notes on dwellings, dress and material culture, and occasional physical‑anthropological observations. The text records variant origin stories and terminologies, reports on occupational roles such as accountants and weavers, and documents village organization and festivals, supplemented by illustrations and field reports gathered from officials and local informants.

Printed by The Superintendent, Government Press, Madras.
