#kalanjoor "Kerala tourism" - Temple festival procession, as part of Annual Temple Festival in Kerala
Temple festival in Kerala |Utsavam
Temple festivals in Kerala are elaborate and exotic. The festivals form part of each temple's annual rituals. They're commonly a tribute to the presiding local god or goddess. Each festival has a different set of legends and myths behind it, depending on the temple deity. While everyday temple rituals are modest in Kerala, the state's temple festivals are a highlight on everyone's social calendars. You can expect swelling crowds, processions of bejeweled elephants, traditional drummers and other musicians,
Colorful floats with people dressed as gods, and fireworks. The festivals are very noisy affairs. Frenetic percussionists, of which there are plenty, whip up quite a sound. Cultural programs, including classical music and dance performances, are also held.
Percussion orchestras like Chenda melam, Singari melam, Panchari melam, Panchavadyam, Pandimelam, Thambolam, Nasik Dhol, Thayambaka, Nadaswaram,
Panchari melam, comprising instruments like chenda, ilathalam, kombu and kuzhal, is performed during virtually every temple festival in central Kerala,
Pandi melam is a classical percussion concert or melam (ensemble) led by the ethnic Kerala instrument called the chenda and accompanied by ilathalam (cymbals), kuzhal and Kombu.
Panchavadyam- literally meaning an orchestra of five instruments, is basically a temple art form that has evolved in Kerala. Of the five instruments, four — timila, maddalam, ilathalam and idakka — belong to the percussion category, while the fifth, kombu, is a wind instrument.
