Melattur Bhagavata Mela - Annual Bhagavata Mela Utsav

[Bhagavata Mela Mltr]

Hi Friends,

Pranams. We from Melattur Bhagavata Mela Natya Vidya Sangam (MBMNVS), Melattur are honoured to invite you all for Our Annual Narasimha Jayanthy Utsav at our village of Melattur. The village has been the seat of this rare art form for centuries and the tradition is being followed till date. It is an unique experience to feel the ambiance and feel of Melattur on Narasimha Jayanthy day. We invite you to experience this divine and awe inspiring atmosphere at our village on Narasimha Jayanthy day.

This year we are celebrating our Annual Utsav along with the "Utsava Murthi Prathishtai" and "Third Samvatsarabhishegam" of Lord Lakshmi Narasimha Temple, our Sangam built in the place where the original Narasimha temple is supposed to have stood and has become extinct over the times. This will be followed by the Bhagavata Mela Plays by the artists of our Sangam.

As you all know, we are striving hard, trying to do our best to enliven the vanishing Traditional art of Bhagavata Mela. It has so far been possible only due to the Grace of Our deity Lord Varadharaja and Lord Lakshmi Narasimha of Melattur and the well wises and support of Art lovers. We wholeheartedly welcome your august presence for our performance. We will be very much happy to provide the necessary hospitality for your stay so that you can experience the divine tradition first hand. All are Welcome.
