People of all ages came together to make this event a huge success. Their contribution to the event indicated that when a group of people with similar interests get together to work towards the same goal, they can do anything fortunate. If they could do it, then future generations would follow their Kongu Parambariya Oyilattam heritage the same way.
“We pride our success of the Kongu Parambariya Oyilattam event held on October 1, 2023, where 1600 participants came together to create a record-breaking and exceptionally captivating performance, setting a new world record,” said Kanagaraj, who stands as a torchbearer of the Oyilatta tradition. “Dancing Oyilattam for straight 4 hours is one incredible accomplishment.

The traditional folk dance form of Tamil Nadu, Oyilattam, has been the significant highlight of the beauty and complexity of the region’s culture for centuries. The ancient folk dance remains well-rooted in the cultural and traditional realms of Tamil Nadu for generations to come.
“In the enchanting village of Sengapalli, nestled within the scenic beauty of Namakkal District’s Mohanur Taluk, the young and spirited Kulanthaiappan guru imparted the captivating art of Oyilattam dance to a group of eager learners led by Kanagaraj back in 1975,” shared the Founder of the organization.
This extraordinary event, organized by Kongu Parambariya Oyilatta Kalai Kulu organization and performed and presented by 1600 talented Oyilatta artists under Kanagaraj’s guidance, is one momentous tale of cultural resilience. The historical world record achieved by the organization clearly states how the people of Tamil Nadu believe their power of unity and cultural heritage are their timeless strengths.
