Kathakali is the classical dance of Kerala and is translated into “story play” in Malayalam – the language spoken in Kerala. If you are vacationing in Kumarakom you should definitely enjoy a Kathakali performance by classical dancers.
There are many luxury hotels in Kumarakom where they arrange a private show for guests as there are generally no regular shows. However we advise you to confirm with your tour operator or hotel if you are interested in watching Kathakali.
