Explanation:

The Kolkali dance means a stick dance. This specific Indian folk dance is very popular in the Lakshadweep islands. Only men can participate in this dance form as women are not allowed to take part. The dancers make pairs, which move in circles following the rhythm produced by the sticks. The sticks are held by the dancers in their hands and are used as props while dancing. Though beginning at a slow pace, the dance slowly gathers speed.
