A mizhavu is a big copper drum that is played as an accompaniment musical instrument in the Koodiyattam and Koothu, performing arts of Keral. The musical instrument is played by the Ambalavasi Nambiar community.

The musical drum is played only with the hands. The Sankrit name of nambiar "Pānivāda" comes from this reason.
The musical instrument is treated as a Brahmachaarya and it is seen to be sacred. The musical instrument is used to accompany the holy ritualistic temple performance of Koodiyattam and Koothu. Only Ambalavasi Nambiar community members are permitted to play the instrument inside the temple or Koothambalams still.
