    Your driver will pick you up from the hotel in Kochi or Ernakulam at 5:30 pm and drive to the Cochin Cultural Center to enjoy the popular Kathakali Dance Show.

    From 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm enjoy the classical dance form of Kerala. The act begins with the Kelikutto and it is the call for the audience to shift their attention as the act is about to get started. Kelikutto is followed by Todayam. In this part, two allotted characters evoke the blessing of the Divine. This is consecutively followed by an entertaining dance piece purapaddu. Once the dance piece ends, the musicians take the stage and take the audience on a breath taking musical journey. This particular section of the act is called Melappada. Pakka or the minukku does not get the opportunity to do a debut on the stage. All the other characters perform a debut in the Tiranokku section. This marks the beginning of the performance or the scene to be narrated.

    After the dance show you will be taken to back to a hotel restaurant for dinner. You will be transferred back to your hotel after dinner.

      Whole evening was great. Picked up without any gala from hotel and taken to Kathakali centre. Great to see the makeup being applied and the transformation the artists go through. Good explanation of this style of dance and a great show. Dinner followed and was good, dropped back at hotel. Very pleasant evening.

      Nobody should go to Cochin without experiencing Kathakali. The whole experience was both educational and entertaining and seeing the whole presentation from makeup through an explanation of the principles and ending in a scene from a full presentation was excellent. The transfers were punctual and the local restaurant was right opposite our hotel and well used by tour trips so was well up to the standard expected.
