The word "kummi" has originated from the Tamil "kommai", meaning dance with clapping of hands and had originated at a time when instruments were not invented. One village woman starts a popular song while others join in with singing and clapping to keep note of time. Songs are performed by the women dancing in circles. Men, when they join form the outer circle. (en)
