Dance - YAKSHAGANA

Dance - Expression without speech

Yakshagana an ancient dance form 

Expresses different forms of human emotions 

A form of dance that originated in Kasargod

Relates to worship of god.

A form that’s performed from dusk to dawn…

A traditional folk theatre also called Aata,

With dance, music, dialogue, costume & make-up

Costumes that are rich and vibrant in colour 

Ornaments made from stones and mirrors 

An elaborate Kirita as the headgear 

And kavacha that decorated the chest 

Another unique feature being Stree vesha,

A male artist performing female role.

With Maddale, Taala and chande..

That fits the tone of the Bhagwat’s voice.
