Seetha Kalyanam (transl. Seetha's Wedding) is a 1934 Indian Tamil-language Hindu mythological film directed by Baburao Pendharkar and K. Ramnoth and produced by Prabhat Film Company. The film stars S. Rajam and S. Jayalakshmi in the lead roles and marks the cinematic debut of notable musicians Papanasam Sivan and S. Balachander. The film is significant for being the first Tamil production to feature colour, achieved using hand-colouring techniques. It was remade in Telugu the same year under the same title.
