Margam Kali is an art form found among the Syrian Christians in and around Kottayam, Kerala. The word Margam means “way” or “path”. This art had essentially been a medium of religious propagation. The theme of the dance is the stories related to the life and contributions of St.Thomas. This is a group dance with a group of female dancers move rhythmically around a lighted wick lamp. The costume is the traditional chattayum mundum of the Christian community. The dancers sing for themselves without any accompanying instruments. The Asan or tutor leads the singing and the language used has a tint of Tamil.
