Bhagavata Mela plays are studded with some rare Ragas that are almost extinct these days and has a repertoire of some wonderful dance compositions unseen in the field these days. The divinity associated with the art form is preserved and we are striving hard to keep up the age old habits and traditions in every performances. It is of great encouragement and support of people like you that we are moving in our journey. We once again request you to continue supporting us in this path and enjoy the flavour of Melattur. Kindly do treat this as a personal invite and grace the occassion.
