Kerala During Onam  
Pancha Vadyam 
Panchavadyam is played by the synchronisation of five different musical instruments in different pitches into a thrilling synthesis of percussion music. Although, these originally formed part of temple festivals and Hindu religious functions, have now been adapted into Christian festivals, displaying the assimilation of Christians into the Keralite culture. 
Listen to Panchavadyam music.
