Kathakali


Kathakali dates back to the 1500s. The plays usually deal with themes around Ramayana, the Mahabharata, and the Puranas. Here we attended an outdoor program put on by the Taj Malabar Hotel for the guests. A local artist explained the basic training Kathaklai artists must go through and demonstrated a brief play where Baby Krishna kills the woman who tried to kill him.
