Kalamanjari - கலாமஞ்சரி

Kalamanjari is a registered Singapore organisation set up to promote Tamil Isai, the Tamil classical music tradition its site describes as 2,000 years old, along with Tamil culture and language. Founded in November 2018 by Mrs Soundara Nayaki Vairavan, it runs classes in Tamil Isai vocal music, Bharatanatyam dance, violin, mridangam, flute and veenai, taught by expert teachers with a focus on Tamil literary and scholars' works. Students also get opportunities to perform on stage, including productions such as the dance drama Aayirathil Oruvan - Kural Amuthu. Certificates are awarded by the Tamil Isai Sangam in Chennai and Tamil Nadu Dr. J. Jayalalithaa Music and Fine Arts University, with examinations held once every six months under the Sangam's syllabus and fees. Kalamanjari renewed its memorandum of understanding with the Tamil Isai Sangam in Chennai on 13 November 2025. Its studio is at 51 Bristol Rd, and enquiries can be made by phone or through a trial-lesson consultation request.
