Malabar Mahotsavam - Festival in Calicut

The objectives of the Malabar Mahotsavam are many. First, to give a new lease of life to the traditional art forms like Theyyam, Kalarippayattu and encourage the local artists. Second, to give the local population an exposure to many art forms of India, both classical and folk and appreciate the rich cultural heritage that the country is proud of. Third, a corollary of the first two, is to exploit the immense tourism potential of the region which is grossly untapped. It is also aimed to crate an atmosphere of communal harmony as Malabar is known for the peaceful co-existence of many religious faiths. It is expected that the Festival will symbolize Unity in Diversity of India through art and culture by the involvement of so many artists and art lovers from all over the country.
The most important feature of this Festival is that it accessible to common man as the entry is free of cost to all. The Festival is organized with the help of sponsorships. The Festival is first of its kind in Kerala and its success has motivated other districts like Ernakulam to organize a similar festival in Cochin.
