Kathakali from the southern most tip of India, Kerala, is characterised by its exaggerated and extravagant style that delves into mythology for its sustenance . The form has been shrouded in mystery and the book tries to demystify the elaborately defined body kinetics and the eloquent hand gestures enhanced by the stylised make - up and costumes.
