Kerala Districts
This spectacular classical dance drama of Kerala based on the guidelines laid
by sage Bharatha's Natya Sastra, the ancient treatise on dance and drama, is
over 1500 years old. This elaborate art form is usually performed in the evening
and continues up to dawn, and is an integral part of all temple and cultural
festivals in Kerala. The costumes and makeup are ornamental, elaborate and design
to give a superhuman effect. The actors do not speak or sing but enact the story
through mudras (hand gestures) graceful movements and facial expressions. The
themes of this awe inspiring art are taken from India's rich and colourful mythology.
