From Wikipedia

Pulikali (Malayalam: പുലിക്കളി, lit. 'dance of the tiger') is a recreational folk art from the state of Kerala, India, performed during Onam, an annual harvest festival. The performance revolves around the theme of tiger hunting. On the fourth day of Onam celebrations (Naalaam Onam or chathayam), performers painted like tigers and leopards in bright yellow, red, and black shake their bellies and dance to the beats of instruments like chenda and chengila. In Thrissur on the fourth day of Onam, Pulikali troupes from all over the district assemble to display their skills, attracting thousands of people to Thrissur. Pulikali is also performed during various other festive seasons.
