the smallest states in India lying on the west coast of
the Indian peninsula. Scholars are of opinion that
Kathakali is the result of a fusion between all Indian
theater tradition represented by Koodiyattom and the
indigenous tradition of folk dance forms. It was one of
the Rajas (Chieftain) of Kottarakkara, who wrote the first
play intended for Kathakali performance. They form a cycle
of eight stories based on Ramayana. The performance for
each story was designed to last for six to eight hours.
The performed stories were then known as Ramanattom (play
pertaining to Rama), which later came to be called as
Kathakali. Stories based on other epics and puranas were
added to its repertoire in later period. Among the better
known Kathakali play writes are Kottarakara Thampuran,
based on Ramayana Stories; Kottayam Thampuran, stories
based on Mahabharatha; Irayamman Thampi, who was both a
good poet and composer, Unnayi Warrier, the author of
Nalacharitham (Story of King Nala); and Vayaskara Moosad
who wrote one of the popular stories -- Duryodhana Vadham.
