KATHAKALI


Kathakali is spectacular,colourful,exaggerated and out of the world.The audience sit spell bound at many occasions..!!!The memory lingers on...I still feel the chill of witnessing a "kathakali" repertoire when i was just 8 years old in an open ground.
Kathakali performances narrate many popular portionsfrom Hindu mythology.Most performances are based on Mahabharata,Ramayana,Bhagavatha purana etc.Hence vaishnavite themes occupy a promonent place.There are ofcourse performances based on shaivite themes also.
