Kathakali @ Peringavu Mahavishnu Temple

The fifth day of the festival at Peringavu Mahavishnu temple has perhaps the most prestigious item of the festival: a kathakali performance. Navarasa Kathakaliyogam from Mulakkalathukavu, KIlimanoor, is going to perform tonight. The story is Thorana Yudham, adapted from Ramayana. It narrates the tale of Hanuman entering Lanka in search of Seetha Devi.

Here is the synopsis in Malayalam.
