'''Kalamandalam Appukutty Poduval''' (1924–2008) was a [[maddalam]] maestro who rose to prominence by his aesthetically pleasing taps on the instrument—a vital percussion accompaniment for [[Kathakali]], the classical dance-drama from [[Kerala]] in south [[India]]. A disciple of the legendary [[Venkichan Swami]], he, along with [[chenda]] exponent, [[Kalamandalam Krishnankutty Poduval]], ushered in a new spring in the acoustics of their performing art.<ref>Kathakali Vijnanakosam (encyclopedia), page 305</ref><br />
<br />
A native of the temple town of [[Thiruvilwamala]] in [[Thrissur]] district, Poduval served for long as a maddalam tutor at his alma mater, [[Kerala Kalamandalam]]. His noted disciples at the institute include Paloor Achuthan Nair, Kalamandalam Narayanan Nambisan (Nambisan Kutty), Damodaran Nair, Eachara Varrier, Nelluvaya Narayanan Nair, [[Kalamandalam Sankara Warrier]], [[Kaplingat Vasudevan Namboothiri]], Ramadas and Sasi.<br />
<br />
Poduval retired from Kalamandalam in 1986. He later worked, on and off, as visiting teacher at Sadanam Kathakali Akademi ([[Gandhi Seva Sadan]]) east of [[Ottapalam]]. He received the [[Sangeet Natak Akademi Award]] in 2000.<ref name="SNA Awardees' List">{{cite web|url=http://sangeetnatak.gov.in/sna/awardeeslist.htm |title=SNA Awardees' List |publisher=Sangeet Natak Akademi |date=2016 |access-date=5 February 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160331060603/http://www.sangeetnatak.gov.in/sna/awardeeslist.htm |archive-date=31 March 2016 }}</ref><br />
