SOPANA SANGEETHAM

Welcome to the World of Sopanasangeetham, Thank you for visiting my personal site, sopanageethangal.com. I am Hari Kumar, a dedicated practitioner specializing in Sopanasangeetham, a unique form of Indian classical music that originated in the temples of Kerala, South India. My expertise also extends to Panchavadyam (an orchestra of five instruments) and Kalamezhuthum Pattum (a Dravidian devotional art form). Sopanasangeetham holds a special place in Kerala's rich artistic landscape. It is a rare and cherished art form, performed by only a select few artists, and evokes a deep sense of nostalgia for Keralites. Characterized by its simplicity and the use of the rare musical instrument, the 'idakka', Sopanasangeetham beautifully translates India's profound ancient culture into a musical expression.

                          While its primary purpose is devotion, the compositions elegantly depict the simplicity and beauty of classical Indian literature, including the Ramayana and Mahabharata. To truly experience the essence of Kerala, one need only immerse themselves in the soulful melodies of Sopanasangeetham – the very core and spirit of "God's Own Country."
