Our heritage
A living tradition, passed from Acharya to Acharya
For more than three hundred years, the family at Vailongara Kalari has preserved the knowledge of Mashinottam and Jyothisham, handing it down through six generations of Acharyas.
What began as a family practice beside the Kshetram near Chumanna Mannu has become a place where devotees from across Kerala and beyond come for guidance, prayer and peace of mind.
“Every generation receives the tradition as it was given, and keeps it as it was kept.”
