MANDAPA

A newly built Kalari centre was inaugurated by renowned Kalari Guru E.P. Vasudevan Gurukkal on December, 30th, 2007. In 1998, regular Kalari class was started with a few people by the support of Chandralekha--Dancer-Choreographer, in Mandala, the space where she used to do her creative work. The class grew and gained popularity over the years. Skills cultural centre has dedicated a centre exclusively for the development of this martial art, known as Mandapa, adjacent to Mandala. It is built in the traditional Kerala style. This is an on-going regular Kalari school that has attracted men and women of all ages and professions.
