Vice Chairman's Message
​
"Art is divine and the one who preserves the art form and performing it in a traditional way is called an Artist. Anyone can perform an art form, but the one who follows the traditional practices to learn and perform is called a TRUE ARTIST. And the one who devotes this art form with dedication and hue respect by sharing the knowledge to others is called GURU"
​
Kalavadhyam was founded with the main mission and vision to preserve our traditional art forms of Kerala, primarily focusing on Kshethra vaadhyams like Chenda, Thimila, Maddhalam, Edakka, Kombu and Kurum Kuzhal. Arts is always my passion. And the art from I learnt with high devotion is this. Being based out of of Bengaluru for Professional Career, I even had a secondary thoughts to take my passion along with the same by spreading knowledge to others and also to prove that art form is divine and we are still living in that. This was the reason to start
Kalavadhyam Academy which I call it as a family or a second home. Not only for me, but also for our students, members and artists too.

A student joining Kalavadhyam Academy is joining a Family of Arts and Cultures.
