Kerala's Traditional Rhythmic and Dramatic Arts
Bring the raw, thunderous energy of Chendemelam and the ancient, mystical storytelling of Kathakali to your celebration. Authentic Kerala arts, performed by trained artists across Bengaluru.
A dynamic stage performance showing a fusion of Kathakali and Mohiniyattam. The bold, dramatic movements of Kathakali contrast beautifully with the gentle, flowing grace of Mohiniyattam.
Two of our Kathakali artists in full costume and intricate green-faced makeup, known as 'Pacha'. This classical dance-drama from Kerala is known for its elaborate and symbolic presentation.
A behind the scenes look at our artists. A Kathakali performer stands in full costume next to a Chendemelam artist with his drum, showcasing two key elements of Kerala's performance arts.
We managed this vibrant Onam celebration at an apartment complex in Bangalore, featuring a Chendemelam troupe, Puli Kali (Tiger Dance) performers, and a decorative elephant.
About Kerala's Rhythmic & Dramatic Arts
These performances are not just a show, they are an immersion. When you book a Kathakali or Chendemelam team, remember that our artists need about two to three hours for the 'Chutti' face-painting and costume draping before the event starts. Plan your timeline with this prep in mind to ensure the grandeur is fully ready when your guests are.
Our journey started with a simple thought: let us get art and artists roaring again. Whether it is the powerful, rhythmic thunder of the Chendemelam ensemble or the silent, expressive storytelling of Kathakali, we provide an authentic connection to these ancient forms.
When you choose a Chendemelam troupe for your event, expect high-decibel acoustic energy that demands attention. We bring the traditional white Mundu-clad percussionists who lead the procession with precision. If you are leaning towards Kathakali, be prepared for a visual transformation. Our artists undergo the meticulous 'Chutti' process—the intricate face painting and costume draping—before they ever step in front of a guest. This is not just a costume change; it is the ritual of bringing the character to life.
We have managed events ranging from intimate gatherings in apartment complexes to large-scale weddings in Bengaluru and Mysuru. We handle the logistics of heavy instruments and traditional attire, so you can focus on the performance itself. We believe these traditions belong everywhere, and we are here to help you integrate them seamlessly into your event timeline.
