Kathakali originated from Krishnanattam in the 17th century. Kottarakkara Thampuran created Ramanattam from Krishnanattam, which later transformed into Attakkatha and was presented as Kathakali. It combines facial expressions, dance, hand gestures, song and instrumental music. Kathakali is performed in front of an oil lamp with lyrics in Manipravalam. Kerala Kalamandalam helped establish it as a major art form through training and legends like Kalamandalam Krishnan Nair. Kathakali uses extensive makeup and costumes to portray different characters through mudras and instrumentation.
