Explanation

Kathakali from the southern-most tip of India, Kerala, is characterised by its exaggerated and extravagant style that delves into mythology for its sustenance. The book tries to demystify the elaborately defined body kinetics and the eloquent hand gestures, enhanced by the stylised make-up and costumes. This book is written by one of the great gurus and performers of Kathakali. It attempts to share a part of what makes Kathakali unforgettable and perhaps demystify it to endear to an audience who might be frightened.
