Traditionally hunters and gatherers, they painted scenes of their lives on rocks and cave walls — a practice that evolved into the art form now called Kurumba Painting. Their art features fine linework and natural dyes, portraying deities, animals, and human figures in rhythmic harmony — expressing the tribe’s philosophy of coexistence with nature.
