Detailed Solution

Kathakali dance form involves dancers showing various poses along with singing religious themes.
In addition to Bharata Natyam, Kathak, Manipuri, Kuchipudi, and Odissi, Kathakali is a major Indian classical dance-drama genre. It is a native of southwest India, especially the state of Kerala, and is based on stories from Shaiva literature and the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The performance takes place outside and lasts all night. Dancers mime the plot as voices shout it throughout the action, and incidental dances and loud drum beats enrich the performance. Traditionally, only men and young boys who can play male and female roles conduct kathakali. The dancers devote their entire lives to its practice. The movement is animated and vigorous. The conventions of Bharata Natyam are observed through stylised motions and facial expressions.
