Visit to Dr. Guru Gopinath Natanagramam


The Guru Gopinath Natanagramam is a cultural institution functioning under the Department of Culture, Government of Kerala. The centre, named after the late Dr. Guru Gopinath, a pioneer reformer of Kathakali dance, was established in Vattiyoorkavu, a suburb of capital city Thiruvananthapuram.

The Guru Gopinath Natanagramam has been established as a centre for learning, training and research in various Indian Dance forms, particularly Kerala Natanam, the dance form composed by the maestro Guru Gopinath. The institution carries on the attempts initiated by the Guru to popularise the dance forms of Kerala and to find fresh talents.


On this day of our first trip together, all of us reached the college by 9 am. We reached our destination by 11 am. We were divided into two batches. At first our batch attended a session by Dr. Sajeev Nair sir. The class gave us more knowledge on the contributions of Dr. Guru Gopinath. We also came to know more about different mudras and Sajeev sir demonstrated different navarasaas also. It was a very beneficial session for all of us. 


After the session, we started to visit the museum. There were  sculptures of different dance forms of Kerala, India, World and also folk dances arranged beautifully in different rooms.



Finally we also got an opportunity to see a documentary on  THEYYAM in the new 5D theatre. 






At 2 pm we together had our lunch and left the museum by 2.45 pm.
