Pancharimelam performance

Melam is a classic performance of different musical instruments that are unique to Kerala, south India. The most traditional of all melams is the Pandi Melam, which is generally performed outside the temple. Another melam called the Panchari Melam, which is similar to Pandi Melam, but the Panchari Melam is played inside the temple.
