Fire Museum Presents kicks off our 15th anniversary season with a Nadaswaram Kacheri. An auspicious 2016 to all!
The nadaswaram is considered to be very auspicious, and it is a key musical instrument played in almost all Hindu weddings and temples of the South Indian tradition. It is part of the family of instruments known as mangala vadya (lit. mangala ["auspicious"], vadya ["instrument"]). The instrument is usually played in pairs, and accompanied by a pair of drums called thavil; it can also be accompanied with a drone from a similar oboe called the ottu.
Nadaswaram by Vaikom Anirudhan Tavil by Keezhoor Arjun and Dhama Theerdhan.
