Tirunelveli’s Tamra Sabha Natyanjali Festival is a unique cultural and spiritual celebration held inside the historic Tamra Sabha (Copper Hall) of the Nellaiappar Temple — believed in tradition to be the place where Lord Shiva performed his cosmic dance. This annual festival attracts classical dancers from across India, who offer Bharatanatyam, Kathakali, Kuchipudi, Odissi, and other classical performances as a devotional tribute. The event is both a showcase of Indian classical art and a worshipful offering, blending spiritual devotion with artistic excellence. For devotees and art lovers alike, Natyanjali provides an immersive experience where sacred space and artistic tradition intersect.
