Who they are
The Valan are a traditional community from Kerala, in southern India, historically linked to inland navigation and artisanal fishing in backwaters and rivers. Speakers of the Malayalam language, they maintain deep social ties and a lifestyle shaped by labor on the waters. Their villages preserve ancestral traditions and a cultural identity firmly rooted in the Hindu context of southwestern India.
