Local Traditions

The islands of India have a blend of indigenous traditions, colonial influences, and the heritage of settlers from various parts of the country.

The islands of India have a surprising cultural and historic wealth of their own. In the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, travelers can witness the rich traditions of indigenous tribes like the Great Andamanese, Onge, and Jarawa, while also experiencing colonial heritage through landmarks like the Cellular Jail in Port Blair. The Lakshadweep Islands have their own unique local communities, known for their vibrant dance forms like the Lava Dance and Kolkali.
