about us

SREEMUDRA KALA GURUKULAM is a community of performative artists who are dedicated to bringing about a change in the way that the world views the capabilites of the human body with respect to the pursuit of the physical arts. Functioning under the leadership of Sree Swami Vaidhya Gurukulam as a sister organization, Sreemudra Kala Gurukulam acts as an extension of the ideology of global well-being.

The central mission of Sreemudra Kala Gurukulam is the revival and propagation of traditional physical arts forms that have started to fade from the mainstream consciousness. These art forms, that were once the backbone of Bharatiya tradition and culture, are commemorative of the times when a deep rooted sense of collective well being flourished within the social structures of a civilisation that marched the world ahead on the path of holistic well being. This practice of physical arts endorsed by the Sreemudra Kala Gurukulam includes, but is not limited to the practice of Kalaripayattu, dance forms like Bharathanatyam and Mohiniyattam, among several others along with strides towards enrichment of the mind through Carnatic Music and the art of the theatre. With this mission in mind, Sreemudra Kala Gurukulam has conducted several workshops and stage programs to promote active participation in these art forms. "Thiruvathira Ravu", that has been held as an yearly event twice so far, presents a spectacularly varied gathering of enthusiasts of the Thiruvathira Dance belonging to all age groups.

Sreemudra Kala Gurukulam has opened it's doors to the world, welcoming talented artists who have met with obstacles on their paths of pursuing various performative art forms. To the avid scholar of traditional art forms, Sreemudra Kala Gurukulam acts as a haven or a sanctuary - a space of peers whose hearts beat the same as their own; a ray of hope in dismal times. Anyone who is honest to their passions are received with open arms that extend opportunities to give wings to their dreams.
