The Kathakali Dancer



Kathakali meaning “story-play” is one of the ancient forms of dance-theater. Kathakali is also known as the King of performing arts. This is because it effectively combines the 5 major fine arts viz. literature (Sahityam), music (Sangeetham), Painting (Chitram), acting (Natyam) and dance (Nrithyam). All these 5 arts are indispensable in the performance of the art.
