Aksharaslokam

Akshara Slokam (അക്ഷര ശ്ലോകം) is a traditional way of Sloka chanting, a poetic entertainment developed in the Malayalam (മലയാളം) language of Kerala, India.

It is in a classical format with strict rules on the meter of quatrains called slokas or mukthaka.

A number of scholars sit to recite either Sanskrit or Malayalam slokas ( with more than eight letters in a line ).

Kairali Solaka Rangam Palai, Kundoor Smaraka Sadas and Amritabharathi Aksharashloka Samiti Chunangad are some of the famous Aksharasloka institutions in Kerala.

The Government of Kerala conducts prestigious competitions for children in connection with school yuvajanotsavams (youth festivals).
