The '''aruval''' ([[Tamil language|Tamil]] and [[Malayalam]]), is a type of [[billhook]] [[machete]] from [[southern India]], particularly common in the [[Indian states]] of [[Tamil Nadu]] and [[Kerala]]. It is used both as a tool and a weapon. Tamils reserve the weapon as a symbol of [[Karuppu Sami|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.
