Kathakali is a classical dance-drama tradition from Kerala, India, known for its elaborate costumes, vibrant makeup, and intricate facial expressions. Rooted in ancient martial arts and religious themes, Kathakali typically portrays stories from Hindu epics like the Mahabharata and Ramayana. The performances involve highly stylized gestures (mudras), intense eye movements, and rhythmic footwork, accompanied by live music, including percussion instruments like chenda and maddalam. Traditionally performed by male dancers, Kathakali combines drama, music, and dance to evoke a rich, theatrical experience.
