| The Nadakkavu CVN Team has represented India in many international events on various occasions. The centre is a |
| recipient of many national and international awards. During our performances, we had been to UK, France, US, Russia, |
| Germany, Switzerland, Japan etc. If one comes across a Kalari in a European or American city, no wonder as many |
| students who learned this art under the guidance of the Gurukul have setup them proving their faithfulness to this |
| system. Today on cultural fronts Kalarippayattu has become a favorite theme for presentaions as stage |
| demonstrations, choreography and as a specialized tourism product. In this line we provide lecture, demonstrations, |
| workshops, choreographic works for films and dances and mock fights as well as presentation with real weapons. |
| The weaponry actions in films like Ashoka, Dilse, Lajja, Jackie Chan movie 'The Mith' etc. are done by the CVN team. |
