'''Kangeelu''' or '''Kangilu''' is a traditional folk dance of particular significance to the [[Udupi]] and [[Karnataka]] communities of [[India]]. It is a spiritual form of dance performed by the Mandal community. Kangilu is performed only on the day of a full moon, and it is believed to keep away [[disease]], evil spirits, and other negative energy, and to foster peace, harmony, and a community spirit.<ref name="Auto1E-1">{{cite web|url=http://www.udupilive.in/city-guide/kangilu-dance-form-of-udupi|title=Kangilu Dance Form of Udupi, Traditional Folk Dance of Udupi|website=Udupilive.in|accessdate=21 September 2018}}</ref><ref name="jigsy.com">{{cite web|url=http://tulunadu.jigsy.com/about|title=About|website=Tulunadu.jigsy.com|accessdate=21 September 2018}}</ref> Kangeelu is not purely dancing, but a dance act.
