Traditional Ghatam Making - Madurai, Tamil Nadu

Music is one of the performing arts that requires both creation and recreation that includes percussion instruments. Ghatam belongs to the group of percussion instruments. It produces rhythmic effects of sound depending on the force and clay composition that could influence the acoustic effect. Ghatams are manufactured in Panruti, Chennai, and Bengaluru. But the main place where the ghatams are manufactured is in Manamadurai of Tamil Nadu. Meenakshi Kesavan (63 years old) is an expert ghatam maker residing in Manamadurai. She and her family are the only ones producing the unique type of ghatam in the town for the past century. Ghatam maker Meenakshi Kesavan is fondly called “the potter who got an award” in the region, as she is been awarded the prestigious Sangeet Natak Akademi from the President of India on 11th April 2014.

Creation of an instrument is just magic. Musicians come next who can harness its true potential. But these creators gives its birth and life :)

Great work of these people in the field of Carnatic music over 5 generations. Govt should help them to upgrade their life style and technology in reducing the faulty Ghatams while putting them in ordinary furnanance. These people should be brought to limelight during Musical festivals. They feel more energetic and encouraged.

Great art, Let us hope the Government help comes to preserve the art and science of making musical instruments.

Love it. Cut the guitar music, though. Something in the Carnatic tradition instead?

[@bmm55]

Exactly, most unsuitable and so most annoying background music. Even a commentary might have been better.
