SantalSantal est un nom vernaculaire ambigu désignant en français certains bois appartenant principalement au genre Santalum, de la famille des Santalacées. Les arbres des espèces produisant ce type de bois poussent naturellement en Inde, au Népal, en Australie, en Nouvelle-Calédonie, au Vanuatu et à Hawaii. Ce bois est utilisé comme encens, en aromathérapie et en parfumerie, plutôt que comme bois de construction ou de charpente, bien que des temples aient été construits en santal en Inde et conservent leur arôme depuis des siècles.

KoothuKoothu or Therukoothu (jwalith) (கூத்து), is an ancient art, where artists play songs with dance and music in storytelling the epics, performed in Tamil; it is a folk art originated from the early Tamil country. More precisely Koothu refers to either Terukuttu (Tamil:தெருக்கூத்து) or Kattaikkuttu. The terms Terukkuttu and Kattaikkuttu are often used interchangeably in modern times; however, historically, the two terms appear to have distinguished, at least in certain villages, between two different kinds of performance: while Terukkuttu referred to mobile performances in a procession, Kattaikkuttu denotes overnight, narrative performances at a fixed performance space.

The recipient of the title held it lifelong, and the male members of the family held it in perpetuity along the matrilineal line. Historically, the Menons were feudal landlords or Naduvazis, and were often engaged in various administrative and political duties, such as being ministers, accountants and advisors in the service of the kings of Kerala.
CheraLes Chera est une des trois dynasties tamoules de l'antiquité indienne, les deux autres étant les Chola qui règnent sur la côte de Coromandel et les Pândya occupant la pointe sud de l'inde actuelle, qui dominent une grande partie de l'histoire du sud de l'Inde et qui sont en conflit quasi perpétuel pour assurer leur prédominance. Ses rois appartenaient à la tribu des Vânavar, peut-être le Vanara ou peuple des singes du Rāmāyana. Les Chera règnent sur la côte de Malabar dans une région qui correspond à l'État moderne du Kerala, dont le nom provient de Keralaputra ou fils des Chera.
