Dollu (Drum), Kambali (Woollen Blanket), Bhandara (Turmeric Powder): The Emblems of Kuruba Community

Sanjay Gandhi

Abstract :

The spiritual leaders and elders who lived in harmony with people of all communities in the society have remarked that of all the creations on the earth, man is the crown of creation. Each animal has its own unique power and potentiality. For instance, elephant is known for its strength, peacock for dancing, cuckoo for melodious singing, lion for ferociousness, donkey for beå trouble, and dog for its loyalty. Yet, as man is endowed with ability to think rationally he is the superior of all animals. The same view was expressed by well–known philosophers Socrates and Aristotle. They stated, “Albeit no man is perfect, man is a social and rational animal”. Such a crown of creation, man has to live in harmony and happily in the society with the help of knowledge that he has acquired from friendship, past experience, way of thinking, profession, hobbies and the environment in which he lives.
