Mohiniyattam achieved the present identity and a strong stand among the other classical dance forms due to the relentless effort of great artists like Kalyani kutty Amma ,Kalpurattee Kunjukutty Amma and Thottacheri Chinnau Amma. The great poet of Kerala Sri.Vallathol ,in the 20th century established the Kerala Kalamamdalam to promote the arts of Mohiniyattam and Kathakali. The above mentioned three artists were invited by the poet to teach MOhiniyattam at the institution.The song of MOhiniyattam is based on Carnatic music and the language used is Manipravalam {a mix of Malayalam and Sanskrit}.
