It is an essential accompaniment of Panchavadya and is traditionally associated with temple festivals in Kerala. It is made only in Palakkad district of Kerala. Maddalam is considered to be a divine instrument or \u201cDevavadya\u201d on account of its inclusion as a major accompaniment in the dance of Shiva. It is an indispensable accompaniment for the Kathakali and Mohini Attam dance forms. It is very similar to the midrange. Panchavadyam, an ensemble of five percussion instruments, is traditionally associated with temple festivals in Kerala. Panchavadyam (the five instruments) is a unique art in which sound emanating from five musical instruments (Maddalam, Idakka, Timila, Kombu and Elathalam) and two auxiliaries, Sankku (conch) and Kuzhal, in varying pitches are synchronized. The artisans of this area are skilled in the art of making of Maddalam.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1163\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1163\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1163\" src=\"http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_4-300x235.jpg\" alt=\"Maddalam of Palakkad\" width=\"300\" height=\"235\" srcset=\"http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_4-300x235.jpg 300w, http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_4-1024x803.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_4-768x602.jpg 768w, http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_4-750x588.jpg 750w, http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_4-1140x894.jpg 1140w, http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_4.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1163\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maddalam of Palakkad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1162\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1162\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1162\" src=\"http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_3-300x226.jpg\" alt=\"Maddalam of Palakkad\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_3-300x226.jpg 300w, http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_3.jpg 318w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1162\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maddalam of Palakkad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1161\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1161\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1161\" src=\"http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_2-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"Maddalam of Palakkad\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_2-300x202.jpg 300w, http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_2-1024x688.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_2-768x516.jpg 768w, http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_2-750x504.jpg 750w, http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_2-1140x766.jpg 1140w, http:\/\/164.100.192.28\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Maddalam-of-Palakkad_2.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1161\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maddalam of Palakkad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maddalam considered being a divine instrument is a form of traditional \/cultural expression.
