Cheruthuruthy - Serene and Scenic Village - Drone Footage

Cheruthuruthy also is known as Vallathol Nagar is a small town in India near Wadakkanchery. The striking attraction of Cheruthuruthy is the Kerala Kalamandalam. Thrissur is 30 km from Cheruthuruthy. It is situated on the banks of the Nila river (Bharathapuzha). It is a serene and scenic village.

The striking attraction of Cheruthuruthy is the Kerala Kalamandalam. It is started in the year 1930 to teach Kerala, performance arts like Kathakali, Mohiniyattam, Thullal, Koothu, Folk Dances, Panchavadyam and Drama. Recently, it has been recognized as a Deemed University by the Government of India. Many persons trained here have achieved national and international acclaim. It follows the residential schooling system and caste is not at all a criterion for admission.

Mahakavi Vallathol Narayana Menon played a primary role in setting up the Kalamandalam. His Samadhi is in the old Kalamandalam campus. For those who want to have a glimpse at his contributions to the cultural world, a visit to the Vallathol Museum at Cheruthuruthy is a must. Another thing Kalamandalam can boast about is the ‘Koothambalam’, i.e., the special hall for performing the ritual and classical dances like koothu and koodiyattam. Since the old times, Koothambalams are considered very sacred and were built only in temple premises. Kalamandalam is the only exemption where the ‘Koothamabalam’ is not in the temple premises.

The best time to visit Cheruthuruthy is in December, for a chance to watch a week-long dance festival organized by Kalamandalam. Thrissur, Vallathol Nagar (Cheruthuruthy), and Wadakkanchery Railway Stations and Shoranur Railway Junction are very near to Cheruthuruthy.
