Melattur is not only the birth place of the Bhagavata Mela dance-drama tradition but also the native place of great composers of music and dance works. It was here the early varna-s, swarajati-s. alarippu-s, tillana-s and sabdam-s were composed. A serious study of Melattur" s contribution to Carnatic music and classical solo dances for Chadur' (Sadir) is long overdue. While systematic research is yet to begin, some information is available already on the maestroes of Melattur.
