[Tugindia] Creating figure caption in Malayalam

[V. Sasi Kumar]

I am creating a document in Malayalam in which I have to include some
figures. When I write \begin{figure}, followed by \caption{...}, the
caption comes as Figure 1: followed by the text I give in Malayalam. I
want to redefine this so that a suitable Malayalam word comes instead of
Figure. How can I do that? Can I similarly change for Table also?

Thank you.
