A Pulluvan is a member of primitive Dravidian group.
The pulluvar of Kerala are closely connected to serpent worship. One group among these people consider the snake gods as their presiding deity and perform certain sacrifices and sing songs.
This is called 'Pulluvan Pattu'. The song conducted by the Pulluvar in serpent temples is called Sarppapattu or Naagampattu.
The musical instruments used by the Pulluvar are veena, (a primitive stringed violin), kutam (earthern ware pot with strings attached to it) and thaalam (bell-metal cymbals).
These instruments are made by the Pulluvar themselves. The veena is made out of a hollow bamboo stick, coconut shell and brass wire. The kutam is made of a pot on whose bottom a hot is bored with calf skin attached to the hole.
Two small holes are made on the side where the string is attached. The other end is tied to the end of a long stick.
Pulluvar songs are sung on Ayilyam pooja day which is considered to be very auspicious.
