'''Dandakam''' or '''Dhandakam''' (Telugu: దండకం) is a literary style of poetry seen in [[Sanskrit]] [[Sanskrit prosody|prosody]], [[Telugu language|Telugu]] and [[Kannada]] languages. The [[Stotra|Stotrams]] of the Dandakam exceed 26 syllables, and resemble prose. Though verbose and rich in content, Dandakams are actually rarely found in Sanskrit literature when compared to general Stotrams perhaps due to their very complex structure. Most of the Dandakams can be set to a musical notation and are generally sung as [[Ragamalika|Ragamalikas]] instead of chanting them in the form of [[Mantra|Mantras]].<br />
