Re: kerala kalamandalam history in malayalam
Kerala Kalamandalam is the premiere public institution in India imparting training in and conducting performances of the classical arts of Kerala viz. Kathakali, Kutiyattam, Mohiniyaattam, Thullal and Panchavaadyam. It was founded in 1930 by eminent poet Padmabhooshan Vallathol Narayana Menon. Training in art-disciplines at Kalamandalam essentially adheres to the ancient Gurukula sambradaaya. Kerala Kalamandalam, deemed a University of Art and Culture by the Government of India, is a major centre for learning Indian performing arts, especially those that developed in the Southern states of India, with the special emphasis on Kerala. The inception of Kalamandalam gave a second life to three major classical performing arts of Kerala as Kathakali, Kudiyattam and Mohiniyattam were, by the turn of the 20th century, facing the threat of extinction under various regulations of the colonial authorities. It was inaugurated in 1930 at Kunnamkulam, Kakkad, and was later shifted to the village of Cheruthuruthy in 1933. The Maharaja of Cochin donated land and a building. Subsequently, a dance department was started to revive Mohiniyattom. It has been functioning as a grant-in-aid institution under the Cultural Affairs Department, Government of Kerala. In 2006, it was accorded the status of 'Deemed University for Art and Culture' by the Government of India. In 2010, University Grants Commission (India) has given 'A' category status for Kerala Kalamandalam. Kalamandalam is the only deemed university in Kerala state accorded the prestigious status.
