_Chenchuwar_, _Chenchuwad_ or _Chenchu_--A forest tribe of the Telugu country of whom a few persons were returned from the Chanda District in 1911.

In Madras the tribe is known as Chenchu, and the affix _wad_ or _wadu_ merely signifies person or man.

The couple sometimes simply run away together at night and return next day as husband and wife, or, if they perform a rite, walk round and round a bow and arrow stuck into the ground, while their relations bless them and throw rice on their heads.
