thumb|kalamapttu Kalampattu is a traditional performing art from Kerala, India.
It is performed as a vazhipad (offering). Pattu kurup, a traditional community, is in charge of that function. This offering is performed for the blessings of gods like Bhadrakali, Ayyappan, and Vettakkorumakan. The kurup sings and makes a kalam picture, which is drawn on the floor using five colours.
