The Uraly live in Tamil Nadu where they are a Scheduled Tribe. They live in Kerala too. They speak Malayalam. Hinduism is their religion and they worship their ancestors. They are not vegetarians and eat rice. They are now monogamous. Property is given to males. They bury their dead.

The Uraly work in settled cultivation and some as agricultural laborers. The women make mats and baskets. They have a caste association to look after them.

The Uraly education level, though not extremely low, is on the low side and the gospel may need to be given in oral form.

* Scripture Prayers for the Mala Urali in India.

Pray that Indian Christians lead them to Jesus Christ.
Pray that the association leaders come to Jesus Christ and lead others to Him.
