[[Image:Mizhavu.jpg|thumb|right|Mizhavu kept in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Mizhavana&amp;#039;&amp;#039; (wooden box made especially to keep the  mizhavu).]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;mizhav&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; or &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;mizhavu&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; ([[Malayalam]]: മിഴാവ്) is a big copper [[drum]] played as an accompanying percussion instrument in the [[Koodiyattam]] and [[Koothu]], performing arts of [[Kerala]]. It is played by the [[Ambalavasi]] [[Nambiar (Ambalavasi)|Nambiar]] community. After 1965, when started a mizhavu repertory in kalamandalam mizhavu break the cast barrier and nowadays anyone can play mizhavu in koodiyattam, nangiar koothu, chakyar koothu, and mizhavu thayambaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The drum is played only with hands. The [[Sanskrit]] name of nambiar &amp;quot;Pānivāda&amp;quot; (&amp;#039;pāni&amp;#039; means &amp;#039;&amp;#039;hands&amp;#039;&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;vāda&amp;#039; comes from the verb &amp;#039;vādanam&amp;#039; meaning &amp;#039;&amp;#039;playing&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, altogether meaning the one who plays with hands) comes from this reason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mizhavu is treated as a &amp;quot;[[Brahmachaarya]]&amp;quot; and it is considered as sacred. It is used to accompany the holy ritualistic temple performance of Koodiyattam and Koothu. Only Ambalavasi Nambiar community members are allowed to play it inside temples or [[Koothambalam]]s still.&lt;br /&gt;
