• A melam is a classic performance of different musical instruments that are unique to Kerala. The most traditional of all melam's is something called a Pandi Melam which is generally performed outside the temples. Another melam called Panchari melam, which is similar to Pandi melam is played when you are inside the temple. See this British Library archive for more details on this.

• Panchavadyam is another classical musical instrument performed in Kerala, where five instruments are involved in a breathtaking-fastmoving act of percussion (Pancha in Sanskrit means five). The five instruments are Madhalam, Kuzhal, Edakka, Elathalam & Timila.
