  • Thurumbar (also known as Thurumba Vannar and Puthirai Vannar) is a Tamil caste found in northeastern part of Sri Lanka and the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. They are traditionally occupied in laundry, notedly performed in service for caste members from the lower strata. They are also known for their involvement as sorcerers. They were subjugated to untouchability and were known as "unseeable caste", as they were only allowed to travel at night, and some even obliged to drag a palmyra palm behind them. It is speculated that it served the purpose for either notify their whereabouts or for members from privileged castes to avoid their footprints. (en)
