Move towards a cultural centre and experience a mesmerising performance of Kathakali - a "story play" genre of art, but one distinguished by the elaborately colorful make-up, costumes and face masks that the traditionally male actor-dancers wear followed by Kalaraipayattu - a gift to the modern world and the mother of all martial arts.
Legend traces the 3000-year-old art form to Sage Parasurama- the master of all martial art forms and credited to be the re-claimer of Kerala from the Arabian Sea.
