🔴 LIVE | Sopana Sangeetham & Panchari Melam Arangettam | Trilochana 2026 *Rudraksham Centre for Arts and Culture* proudly presents *TRILOCHANA 2026 – Where Tradition Comes Alive**, a celebration of Kerala's timeless temple arts through the **Sopana Sangeetham Arangettam* and **Panchari Melam Arangettam**. 🎼 Sopana Sangeetham Arangettam Guided by *Guru Shri Peruvanam Sankaranarayanan Marar* Chair, Academic Advisory Council *Guru Shri Peruvanam Sarath S. Marar* Featuring • *4 Idakka artists* • *5 Ashtapadi artists* About Sopana Sangeetham Sopana Sangeetham is one of Kerala's oldest devotional music traditions, performed in temple sanctums as an offering to the deity. Accompanied by the resonant rhythms of the Idakka, it is known for its spiritual depth, expressive melodies, and centuries-old heritage. This Arangettam marks the culmination of years of disciplined learning under the guidance of distinguished Gurus. --- 🥁 Panchari Melam Arangettam Guided by *Guru Shri Peruvanam Sankaranarayanan Marar* Chair, Academic Advisory Council *Guru Shri Anilkumar Kombath* Academic Advisory Council Featuring • *8 Rudraksham Junior Arangettam artists* • *Kuzhal Pramani Shri Anilkumar Kombath* • *35 accomplished Melam artists from Kerala's renowned Melam team* About the Panchari Melam Arangettam This Panchari Melam Arangettam is a remarkable milestone for Rudraksham. Unlike most debut performances where Gurus perform alongside their students, the **eight Arangettam artists lead the entire Panchari Melam themselves**, while the Gurus observe and guide from the sidelines. Supported by accomplished Melam artists from Kerala, this presentation reflects the students' confidence, discipline, and years of rigorous training. It is a true testament to the Guru–Shishya tradition, where the Guru's greatest achievement is to prepare disciples who can confidently take the lead while preserving the authenticity and excellence of the art form. About Panchari Melam Panchari Melam is one of Kerala's most celebrated temple percussion ensembles, renowned for its structured rhythmic progression, discipline, and powerful musical expression. Built around the majestic sound of the Chenda and supported by traditional wind and percussion instruments, it is a vibrant symbol of Kerala's living cultural heritage. --- 📍 Venue *Sri Vidyaganapati Temple* Vidyaranyapura, Bengaluru --- About Rudraksham Centre for Arts and Culture Rudraksham Centre for Arts and Culture is a non-profit organization based in Bengaluru, dedicated to preserving, promoting, and passing on India's traditional performing arts through the Guru–Shishya tradition.
