Adiyan or Adiya people live in the northern hill districts of Kerala. The word Adiyan means “service class” in Malayalam. The Adiyans are found in the Wayanad and Kannur districts of Kerala. Most of them are agricultural labourers. It is believed that they were agricultural slaves in the past. During the annual festival at the Valliyurkkavu temple in Mananthavady, Wayand, the Adiyar people used to gather where they were sold and bought by landlords. http://www.focusonpeople.org
