KATHAKALI : :
Kathakali originated in Kerala,
South India over 500 years ago. It is a spectacular combination
of drama, dance, music and ritual. Characters with vividly painted
faces and elaborate costumes re-enact stories from the Hindu epics
The Mahabharatha and the Ramayana. Kathakali uses the training exercises
of Kalari Payttu, the martial art of Kerala. |
