Our Story

Kochi Folklore Odeum

Kochi Folklore Odeum is devoted to preserving and revitalizing the traditional art forms of Kerala, drawing from over seven decades of family heritage and knowledge. Our mission is to bridge the generational gap, making these cultural treasures accessible and engaging to today’s youth. We strive to capture the true essence of Kerala’s traditions, ensuring that their significance is recognized and celebrated by the next generation.

This journey is a challenging one, as mastering these art forms requires years of dedicated training. By establishing a dedicated theater, we provide skilled artists with a platform to showcase their talents, honoring their commitment and enriching Kerala’s cultural landscape. This initiative also has the potential to impact the tourism industry, making our theater a must-visit destination for travelers eager to experience Kerala’s vibrant culture.

With the invaluable support of Eazit Global Pvt Ltd, our partner in project development, we have been able to enhance our outreach and operational effectiveness. Their strategic insights and dedication have played a key role in our growth, enabling us to share these traditional art forms more widely. Together, we are working to make Kochi Folklore Odeum a cornerstone of cultural tourism in Fort Kochi, inviting all to experience and appreciate the beauty and depth of Kerala’s heritage.
