Padmabhushan Kuzhur Narayana Marar Foundation is a group conglomeration which has been active for the last six years in the areas of art and cultural arena of Central Kerala. The art of rhythmic symphony having been elevated to the zenith Kuzhur Asan won for the first time in the divine art of Panchavadyam the coveted Padmabhushan Award of the Government of India. It is the manifesto and on its anvil are there concrete plans for fulfilling the same.
The foundation envisages to build an abode for the training of upcoming talents sprouting on this divine land, Kerala in the field of supreme percussion and other accompanying arts forms and thus nurture them vigilantly paving way for their higher training in the field and also to provide research facilities for them.
Our ultimate aim is to develop the foundation on par with Kerala Kalamandalam or Vaikkom Kalapeedom. In order to achieve this aim we need at least three acres of land. Even in places away from important centers cost in vogue for one cent of land in Kerala comes to Rs.3 lakhs and thus the total cost will come to Rs. 12 crores which is our prime priority. No aide is being obtained from the Central/State Governments, nor from any NGOS for that matter now. The donations from the public is the only financial support so far. Considering your good self as a person who loves and adores illustrions heritage of Kuzhur Asan and his mesmeric symphony we are soliciting your maximum co-operation in this humble and divine endeavor of ours. We are welcoming you whole-heartedly to join hands with us in the creation of an immortal script of the heart for sustaining the heavenly and great rhythmic harmonies which is so unique and perfect of the earth.
