Angakali\/Angamuripa<\/h3>\n

Angakali or ANGAMURIPA (\u0c85\u0c82\u0c97 \u0cae\u0cc1\u0cb0\u0cbf\u0caa) is Performed by Kembatti poleyas. This happens usually for the death of our Pattedaaras<\/a> (The eldest of the clan). The village Kembatti Poleyas will take the Mukkali<\/a> (stool with three legs) and  keeps a lamp above it alongside a basket full of paddy and small basket of rice above it along with Coconut and a small iron rod. A clan member will give a white cloth to one of the poleyas who wears it and puts dance steps along with other poleyas for the chavu<\/a> valaga (death music).<\/p>\n
