AN APPEAL
We would sincerely like to thank all our well wishers in India and abroad, who have contributed to
our work in this section so far.
In our bid to preserve, sustain and revive an interest in ritual arts, support the handful of artistes
practising the dying tradition as well as develop a new body of artistes who can continue the
tradition within the temples, Arangham Trust welcomes outside help and contributions.
All cheques or money orders (national and international) can be made to "Arangham Trust" and
will be acknowledged.
Contributions made in Indian rupees will enjoy tax exemption under Section 80 G.
Kaisiki Natakam
Arangham has begun pioneering work in reviving a tenth century performance art unique to
temples in southern Tamil Nadu. Traditional communities of dancers and musicians and their
invaluable repertoire and literature of ritual performances like "Kaisiki Natakam" are being
sustained and revived so that their art can breathe again.

Project Kaushal
is another sphere of Arangham's revival work, where we hope to amalgamate and
forge dynamic links with Indian craft communities as well as folk dance and theatre groups.

of the royal priests' falls under the category of drama.
