Onavillu
An onavillu is a simple, short, bow-shaped musical instrument. Its name may come from ''Onam'', a festival in Kerala where the instrument is used in dances, and ''villu'', which means 'bow' in Malayalam (and several other South Indian languages). Although still regularly used in rural art forms, use of the onavillu is on the decline.〔(Onavillu in India )〕 ''Onavillu'' also refers to flat, tapered wooden artifacts decorated with tassels and used in ceremonies of devotion to Lord Vishnu. ==Instrument==
The onavillu that accompanies the Kummattikali and other folk dances is a Keralite string instrument made from the pith of the palmyra stem, or from bamboo, shaped as a bow. Bamboo slivers are used for bowstrings.〔(Keralatourism.org: Kummattikkali )〕 The bow strings sound when struck with a thin stick, the size of a pencil. The sound can be varied through finger pressure on the string.
