Chilandhipatuthirummu which means 'massage therapy provided in spider posture'. This therapy segment is utilised for the perfection of othadipokkangal, meipandhikal, chilandhipatu postures along with the flexibility and perfection of nerves and joints. It is provided by expert kalaripayatu masters only for highly dedicated students who have been practicing kalaripayattu for at least six years. The physical capability and strength of a kalaripayattu student who is subjected to this therapy can be identified as something special. It is helpful for the perfection of the splits like samasooji, nersooji, to improve the ability to jump highs from certain postures and to land in other postures, and also to attain perfection of garudanilakal, chilandhithirivukal, chilamdhimalakanghal, othadiponghal etc. The expert masters who have trained in all the four different categories of kalaripayattu like meimura, yudhamura, jeevanamura, upasanamura are mostly supposed to have in-depth knowledge of kalarimarma treatment. Nowadays, the majority of kalaris are used to provide training in the yudhamura category of kalaripayattu. That is why presently only a few kalari masters are supposed to have in-depth knowledge of massage and therapy segments of kalari marma. It is because the yudhamura category is mainly included with meithari, kkolthari, angathari and verumkaithari. So those kalaris are used to provide ayurvedic massage or treatments instead of traditional kalari Marma treatment. These therapy segments are not perfectly suited or not capable enough to replace kalari marma treatment. Moreover, present ayurveda is only equipped with certain documented portions of Ayurveda which were practiced by ancient ayurvedic treatment experts of India. We can also notice a standardisation in present ayurvedic treatments like Modern medicine which is against the basic principles and will not be successful in all contexts because each and everyone are different. The purpose of this video is to document and preserve the different segments of traditional kalari marma treatment which requires a lot of effort for practical execution.
