Kathakali from the southernmost tip of India, Kerala, is characterized by its exaggerated and extravagant style that delves into mythology for its sustenance. The form has been shrouded I mystery and the book tries to demystify the elaborately defined body kinetics and the eloquent hand gestures enhanced by the stylized make-up and costumes.
