This is the first impression of our art, a handpicked collection that showcases the power, tradition, and soul of Kalavadhyam. It’s a glimpse into the roaring energy and deep-rooted heritage we bring to every performance.
Panchari Melam: The Soul of the Celebration
This is our signature performance, the classic temple percussion of Kerala. We bring the authentic energy of Panchari Melam, starting with a slow, meditative rhythm and building to a powerful, roaring crescendo, perfect for temple festivals and grand cultural events.
Our Artists: Masters of Rhythm
Our ensemble is a family of dedicated artists, each a master of their craft. Here, we celebrate the individuals who create the thunderous roar of the Chenda, the shimmering pulse of the Ilathalam, and the soulful melody of the Kurum Kuzhal.
Grand Festivals: The Pooram Experience
We bring the unparalleled grandeur of Kerala's Poorams to life. Our artists, many of whom are veterans of the legendary Thrissur Pooram, perform authentic temple ensembles like Pandi Melam and Panchari Melam for festivals across Karnataka and Kerala.
Onam & Cultural Events
Bring the spirit of Onam and the authentic touch of Kerala culture to your corporate or family celebration. We provide vibrant Chenda Melam performances that create a festive and memorable atmosphere for any event.
The Next Generation of Kalavadhyam
We are dedicated to passing our traditions to the next generation. We are proud to train a dedicated kids' batch, our 'varumkaala padanaayakanmaar' (future leaders), ensuring the legacy of Kerala's percussion arts continues to thrive.
Women of Kalavadhyam
We are honored to have talented and dedicated women artists as an integral part of our Kalavadhyam family. They bring immense skill and passion to our performances, playing instruments like the Chenda and Edakka with grace and power.
Arangettam & Guruvandanam
We provide complete percussion support for Arangettam (debut performances) and cherish the moments we honor our Gurus. This includes providing Panchari Melam ensembles for the event and celebrating the achievements of our students and teachers.
Our Esteemed Collaborations
We are privileged to perform alongside some of the greatest maestros in the world of Chenda Melam, including legends like the Peruvanam brothers. These collaborations enrich our art and inspire our entire sangham.
The Kalavadhyam Kudumbam (Our Family)
For us, Kalavadhyam is more than a group; it is our family. Here are some moments of our journey together, from intense practice sessions to group photos after a fulfilling performance, celebrating over 15 years of keeping tradition alive in Bangalore.
