Kathakali is a highly
stylised classical Indian dance-drama noted for its
attractive make-up of characters, their elaborate
costumes, detailed gestures and well-defined body
movements presented in tune with the anchor playback
music and complementary percussion. It originated in the
country's present day state of Kerala during the 16th
century AD, approximately between 1555 and 1605, and has
been updated over the years with improved looks, refined
gestures and added themes besides more ornate singing
and precise drumming.
In the
year 2003 our effort was to bring this beautiful dance
to the people of Kolkata.
