Kerala
is on the southernmost tip of India. Kerala, the land of Ayurveda
Kerala's equable climate, natural abundance of forests (with a wealth of
herbs and medicinal plants), and the cool monsoon season (June -
November) are best suited for Ayurveda's curative and restorative
packages. |
Kummattikkali
is a mask dance popular in some of the northern districts of Kerala. The
dancers, wearing painted wooden masks and sporting sprigs of leaves and
grass, go dancing from house to house. A popular Kummatti character is
Thalla or the witch; the others represent various Hindu gods and goddesses.
The songs deal with devotional themes and are accompanied by a bow like
instrument called Ona-villu. No formal training is required to perform the
Kummattikkali, and often the spectators join in the performance. ![]() ![]() |
