Krishnanattam- Glances across the screen An analysis of the Divine Dance Drama under the Rubric of Cultural Economics

Volume : (3), Issue : 211, January - 2019

Abstract : Kerala has a composite and cosmopolitan culture which was the contribution of several people and races. When we analyse the cultural history of Kerala we can see the importance of temple art forms. These art forms cater the entertainment of upper castes, mainly Brahmins and Kshatriyas. Kuthu , Krishnanattam, Kathakali and Koodiyattam were the products of this culture. This cultural phenomenon reflects the style of life of the people and it also affects the ‘economic culture’ of the people of Kerala.
