'''Tamil folk culture''' refers to [[Folk culture|folk arts and crafts]] of the [[Tamil people]]. Folk arts and crafts are an integral part of the [[Tamil culture]]. Tamil folk arts include music i.e. [[Naattupurapaattu]], dance styles, songs, games, crafts, herbal medicine, food, sculpture, costumes, stories, proverbs, and mythology.<br />
<br />
Tamil folk art is characterized by its local, participatory, and open source character. Tamil folk culture often expresses village sensibilities, where most Tamils historically lived. It is often contrasted with [[Bharatanatyam]], and [[Carnatic music]].<br />
