KERALA INDIA HOLIDAYS |
  |
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. |

This
spectacular martial dance is performed by men in some of the temples of
southern Kerala. The dancers, clad in the traditional clothes and colourful
headgear of the medieval Nair soldiers, engage in vigorous movements and
dexterous sword play, to the accompaniment of an orchestra comprising the
maddalam, ilathalam, kombu and kuzhal. Velakali originated in Ambalappuzha
where Mathoor Panicker, chief of the Chempakasserri army, promoted it to
boost the martial spirit of the people. The dance form is a regular feature
of the annual festivities at the Ambalappuzha Sree Krishna temple in
Alappuzha district.   |
