The history of this artform can be traced back almost 1000 years , where the seed lay embedded in the artform called, "KOODIYATTAM".Koodiyattam is the oldest classical artform of Kerala.It is offered as a votive offering to the deity.Koodiyattam literally means "acting together".Kathakali evolved across during the last 400 to 500 years.The contributiion of Maharaja kartika thirunal Rama Varma to kathakali is incomparable.A descendant of the ancient Chera Kings of South India , he encouraged arts and literature in the 18th century.
