Silambam, once a symbol of strength and cultural pride, was fragmented and driven to the brink of extinction. But like a phoenix rising from the ashes, the spirit of silambam endures.

Chennai has become a hub for silambam practitioners and enthusiasts. Once confined to rural areas, this martial art has found its place in urban fitness studios, schools, and cultural institutions.

Events at Chennai Metro stations raise Down Syndrome awareness through dance, silambam, and parent stories, promoting public acceptance.
