The Kaikottikali stands as one of the most popular South Indian dances from the Hindu communities of the state of Kerala. Kaikottikali is a popular folk dance in Kerala performed by women. It is a group dance, performed by a group of 8 to 14 women who clap in unison. It is usually performed on the occasion of Onam.

More than 2,600 women came together at the ‘Mumbai Pooram festival’ at Dombivli (East) to create a world record for the largest ever Kaikottikali performance in the world. A team from the Guinness Book of World records was at the venue to record the feat.
