The Arts of Kerala
The Sanskrit word Sangeetha for Music is defined as "a confluence of Song,
Lyrics & Dance". ( Geetham Vadyam Thadha Nritham Trayam Sangeetham Uchyathe
) !
Art is defined as that which generates happiness ( Kal Ahladatha iti
Kala ).
Kathakali is one of the best art forms of Kerala and is played in almost
all temples. The word " Temple" is derived from the Latin word Tempulum , a
place where Law and Justice can be administered.
Kerala culture is rich with Arts. There are other forms of Art, like
Ottam Thullam, Theyyam, Kalari Payattu, Mohini Attam, Chakyar Koothu, Nangiar
Koothu, Velakali, Thiruvathira Kali etc. The videos of all these arts we have
uploaded at www.keralaheritages.com
Art is divine, said Michelangelo. Art is grandchild of Deity, said Dante. Now this confluence of Song, Lyrics and Dance can take man to the altaltissimo, the highest Blissful Summit or Spiritual Zenith, which is only accessible to the divinely-intoxicated mind !
Let Art give Bliss to our readers !
