1. Classes and learning opportunities

The website lists Mohiniyattam, Bharatanatyam, Kathakali, Kuchipudi, Kerala Nadanam, Thiruvathira, Semi-Classical Dance, Carnatic Music and Yoga. It also describes online dance classes, one-on-one learning, special semi-classical batches and university-linked study opportunities.

Learning opportunities are described for ages 7 and above, with in-person centres at Plammoodu and Punnamoodu in Thiruvananthapuram and online options where offered. The suitability of a course, learning mode, teacher, batch or certification pathway should be confirmed directly with the foundation before enrolment. A listing does not guarantee that every option is currently available at every location.

2. Enquiries are not confirmed bookings

Sending a course, event or general enquiry allows the foundation to contact you about your request. It does not confirm enrolment, reserve a seat, issue an event ticket or establish a payment agreement. The thank-you page acknowledges a successfully sent enquiry only.

Please provide accurate contact details and select the relevant course or event where applicable. A preferred location is requested for course and general enquiries; it is optional for event enquiries. Choosing a location indicates your preference, not a confirmed venue or allocated batch.

If a submission fails or you need clarification, use the phone numbers or email addresses below rather than assuming your request has been received. Parents or guardians should enquire on behalf of children and confirm any applicable participation requirements.

3. Fees, admissions and programme-specific terms

Before registering, confirm current fees, batch timings, learning mode, availability, eligibility, admission requirements and any applicable course or event terms with the foundation or the registration contact named on the programme page.

This website does not set a universal payment, cancellation, refund, transfer or missed-class policy. Ask for the terms applicable to your particular course, workshop or event before making a commitment or payment. Any advertised trial or special offer should be checked for its current availability and conditions; it should not be assumed to apply to other courses or batches.

University-linked BFA, MFA or diploma opportunities may have separate eligibility, examination, certification and fee requirements. Confirm those requirements and the applicable institution’s arrangements directly; a website enquiry is not university admission or a promise of a qualification.

4. Events, workshops and cultural activities

Upcoming Events, the Events Calendar, Announcements and Past Events & Gallery provide programme information, posters and records of performances. Activities include festivals, workshops, dance productions, Kathakali programmes and cultural tourism. Vidhyarambham is presented as an annual October learning tradition; consult current announcements for a confirmed programme date.

Check the individual event page for its date, venue, organiser or registration contact and current registration information. Dates and schedules are presented in Indian Standard Time unless otherwise stated. Where a programme time has not been confirmed, a date-only listing should not be read as an announced start or finish time.

Programmes held at external venues are not necessarily held at either training centre. An event enquiry’s location preference does not change the published venue. Past-event listings and gallery images are historical records, not invitations to register for a completed programme.

Before arranging travel or attendance, confirm the latest details with the programme’s listed contact. A poster, calendar entry or announcement may be updated as programme information changes.

5. Photographs, posters and website content

Photographs, programme posters, dancer profiles, videos, logos and written content are presented to explain the foundation’s work and document its activities. Their display does not grant a general licence to reuse them. Seek permission from the foundation or the relevant rights holder before republishing, editing or commercially using material.

Full-size image links are provided so programme details can be read clearly. Opening or saving an image does not transfer copyright or permission to alter credits. Contact the foundation if you have a question about attribution, an image, a profile or any published information.

6. External services and links

Google Maps links help locate the centres. WhatsApp and the foundation’s and Soumya Sukumaran’s social profiles provide other ways to connect. Some events may have external registration or video links. These services operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

Review the destination and its registration or payment conditions before sharing details or making a payment. Linking to a service does not make all of its content or practices part of this website. The Contact page remains the reference for the foundation’s main contact details.

7. Responsible website use

Use the website and enquiry form for genuine requests. Do not send spam, abusive material, misleading details or another person’s private information without permission. Do not attempt to access administrative records or interfere with the website’s operation.

The administrative area is intended for authorised staff. Public enquiries do not require an account or administrator access. Please report a problem through the foundation’s published contact channels.

8. Privacy and availability

Information submitted through an enquiry is handled as described in our Cookies and Privacy Policy, including enquiry consent, browser storage, external services and requests to update or delete information.

Website information and these terms may be updated. Pages, forms, maps or external links may occasionally be unavailable. If something is unclear, out of date or not working, contact the foundation for current information. These website terms do not exclude any rights that apply under law.
