Aruval (original) (raw)
The aruval (Tamil: அரிவாள், Malayalam: അരിവാൾ, ISO: arivāḷ), also known as koḍuvāḷ (Malayalam: കൊടുവാൾ), is a type of billhook machete from southern India, particularly common in the Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. It is a type of long sickle with a knife-like scythe-handle, and is used both as a tool and a weapon. Tamils reserve the weapon as a symbol of karupannar. In popular culture, it is sometimes associated with gangsters. In movies, it is used as a weapon of choice. In Kerala, its primary use is for agriculture, mainly in coconut cutting, clearing pathways, cutting wood and other uses.

(en) El aruval, en tamil: அருவாள், y en alayalam:അരിവാള്, es un tipo de gancho de pico tradicional del sur de la India, particularmente común en los estados indios de Tamil Nadu y Kerala. Se utiliza como herramienta y como arma. Los tamiles reservan el arma como símbolo del karupannar, una de las deidades masculinas hindúes tamiles populares entre los grupos sociales rurales de Tamil Nadu y partes de Kerala. En la cultura popular, a veces se asocia con pandilleros. En las películas de este tema, se utiliza como arma de elección. En Kerala, su uso principal es en la agricultura, principalmente en la cosecha de arroz, bien como hoz de mano, bien en el corte de cocos utilizándolo como gancho. (es) |
