The Instruments of Pancheri Malam: Understanding their Role

Binoj Melath Nalinakshan Nair


Abstract: Panchari Melam, a 500-year-old traditional percussion ensemble from Kerala, India, is integral to temple festivals and cultural events. As the birthplace of this art form, Urakam in Thrissur, Kerala, India celebrated its rich legacy of its 500th anniversary. Characterized by its powerful, rhythmic beats, Panchari Melam relies on a combination of instruments that work in harmony to create a profound auditory experience. This paper explores the various instruments used in Panchari Melam, their individual roles, and the distinct sounds they contribute to this celebrated art form.


Keywords: Panchari Melam, Kerala Temple festivals, traditional percussion, cultural heritage, rhythmic beats
