Boom Boom Mattukaran

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A fortune-teller with his Boom Boom Ox

Boom Boom Mattukaran or Adiyan or Poo Idayar are group of nomadic tribal people found primarily in Tamil Nadu and Kerala states of India.[1] They historically made a living by travelling from place to place with a decorated bull, entertaining and fortune telling using what is generally termed a Boom Boom Ox. They are believed to have originated from Andhra Pradesh state and speak in Tamil intermixed with Telugu.[2] Their traditional livelihood is no longer sustainable and they survive on begging and labour work. There are a number of private and government initiatives to settle them and provide education to integrate them with settled society.[3]
