| Chavutti Thirumal |
| Chavutti Thirumal is a form of massage, which has its origins in Ayurvedic medicine and has been practised in India since ancient times. This is a full body oil massage, but it differs greatly from other forms of massage, in that, to perform Chavutti Thirumal, the practitioner uses her bare feet to carry out specific strokes; some are short, but generally they are long controlled strokes. Chavutti was borne out of the ancient Indian art of Kalarippayattu – a fighting system – which is indigenous to Kerla in Southern India. Kalari embodies elements of dance, yoga and Ayurvedic medicine and this extraordinary massage was originally developed to heal, as well as to promote suppleness and flexibility, thus enabling the Kalari practitioners to perform their art with fluidity and dexterity. |
