KATHAKALI-INDIAN DANCE-DRAMA

 

Kathakali is the classical dance-drama of Kerala, South India, which dates from the 17th century. It has a unique combination of literature, music, painting, acting and dance. Kathakali performance is usually conducted at night and ends in early morning. Nowadays it isn't difficult to see performances as short as three hours or even lesser. Kathakali is usually performed in front of the huge Kalivilakku (kali meaning dance; vilakku meaning lamp) with its thick wick sunk till the neck in coconut oil. Traditionally, this lamp used to provide sole light when the plays used to be performed inside temples, palaces or abodes houses of nobles and aristocrats. Enactment of a play by actors takes place to the accompaniment of music (geetha) and instruments (vadya). The percussion instruments used are chenda, maddalam (both of which underwent revolutionary changes in their aesthetics with the contributions of the late Kalamandalam Krishnankutty Poduval and Kalamandalam Appukutty Poduval) and, at times, edakka. In addition, the singers (the lead singer is called “ponnani” and his follower is called “singidi”) use "chengila" (gong made of bell metal, which can be struck with a wooden stick) and "ilathaalam" (a pair of cymbals). The lead singer in some sense uses the Chengala to conduct the Vadyam and Geetha components, just as a conductor uses his wand in western classical music. A distinguishing characteristic of this art form is that the actors never speak but use hand gestures, expressions and rhythmic dancing instead of dialogue (but for a couple of rare characters).

 


AYURVEDA - ANCIENT SYSTEM OF MEDICINE

 

Humankind got ‘life of knowledge’ through many Ayurveda practitioners. The knowledge is transferred to present generation by ways of palm scripts and word of mouth from Ayurveda masters to students. We can’t gather information about the life story of the thousands of seers who spend their lives to nurture and spread the knowledge for the benefits of humankind. Ayurveda is described a divine origin and the acharyas approached Ayurveda, medicines with religious fervor. The divine handling of the knowledge must be one reason that Ayurveda was today made available to the whole humankind.
