 Let
me take the liberty, here, to introduce myself .Samudra Arts International
as you can guess , is an organisation set up in the gulf region, to promote
all kinds of art forms from India and also from other countries, for which
I am the Founder -Director. We also hold A Data Bank for International
Artists and we are also International Representatives for WHI(Womens' Empowerment
and Human resources Development Centre of India).
Samudra Arts International,
was Inaugurated ten years back by Princess Gouri Parvathi Bayi of the Travancore
Royal Family, Kerala. Since then we have been bringing a lot of classical
art forms , mimicry artists of repute(like the KalaBhavan artists) and
also many programmes mainly from Malayalam -Tamil cine fields. our main
aim is promote these artists, like giving them stages wherever possible,
finding out interested people from all over the world.We believe
that we, as expatriates have a moral obligation to each other for promoting
our culture and awareness among our Youth and so we are also involved in
promoting art forms like Kathakali, Koodiyattom, Mohiniyattom, Kutchupudi,
and many other dying art forms from kerala and other parts of India.
We tailor programmes
to the requirements of the people , to satisfy their audience and limit
the number of persons and remuneration within the budget that they
putforth. I was trying to contact you mainly to find out if you have any
project in your mind for " Onam " or "Vishu" and if we could be of
any help to you.

and spiritual dimensions of traditional drumming , folk-and classical dances
of Orrissa They will have 12 artists. 6 drummers from Sambalpur and 6 dancers
....Sound and Light ..preferrably Open Air ( for more effectiveness....if
we are to have it done in auditorium the rates for the Sound and Light
would be slightly low...but for perfection it would be preferrable in an
open auditorium.
2. The same kind of
programme where the drummers and dancers participate can be done with 15
people ......having all most all the drums of SriLanka , whereby the drummers
themselves are dancers and all of them appear together on stage on conclusion
of the programme ie..., all instruments and dancers appear together ...Here
We can get the support of the Sri Lankan air lines too.)

solos and jugalbandhis including Kathak-Mohiniyattom a slow dance of Kerala
