SWORAM -Southwest Washington and ORegon Association of Malayalees.
Join us for our Annual Picnic at Blue Lake Park on July 11 10:30 AM.
 SWORAM is a non-profit organization* involved in promoting the cultures and arts of Kerala. We aim to provide a forum for interaction among Malayalees and encourage appreciation of the art forms and traditions of Kerala.
As proud Keralites we still treasure our memories of home. Being so far away from our homeland, we still would like to experience the Kerala culture and traditions. This is where SWORAM can make a positive contribution. We would like to hold events showcasing the cultures of Kerala and share the experience with you. But remember that without the help from each one of you this will be not possible. We sincerely hope that all well wishers of Kerala will join this organisation and partake in its activities thus making the Kerala experience come alive miles away from home.
Our mission: To create awareness and take pride in the colorful traditions and rich heritage of Kerala; A forum for cultural interaction and support |

 Mohiniyattam is a traditional South Indian dance form from Kerala, India. It is a very graceful dance meant to be performed as a solo recital by women. The term Mohiniyattam comes from the words "Mohini" meaning a woman who enchants onlookers and "aattam" meaning graceful and sensuous body movements. The word "Mohiniyattam" literally means "dance of the enchantress". There are two stories of the Lord Vishnu disguised as a Mohini. In one, he appears as Mohini to lure the asuras (demons) away from the amrita (nectar of immortality) obtained during the churning of the palazhi or Ocean of Milk. |
