Kathakali is thus said to have evolved from other performing arts like Kootiyattam , Krishnanattam and Klaripayattu.This most sacred DANCE DRAMA of Kerala requires lenghty and rigorous training to attain complete control of the body and a sensitivity to emotion so aas to be able to render all its nuances through facial expressions and hand gestures.Kerala owes its transnational fame to this nearly 300 years old classical dance form which combines facets of ballet , opera ,masque and the pantomime.Kathakali too like the other dances explicates ideas and stories from the Indian epics and Puranas.
