The most anticipated item of the day was Thorana Yudham, a Kathakali performance by Navarasa, a troupe from Mulakkalathukavu, near Kilimanoor. It lived up to its bill and the not-so-reputable performers produced a dazzling display of colours, mudras, bhavas and manodharma. The story revolved around Hanuman, who stormed into Lanka for the first time in search of Seetha Devi. The performers depicted his entry and the resultant war in the most sophisticated artistic manner possible.
Those who missed out can see glimpses of the performances in the following pictures.
Long before the event started, the preparations had started in the right earnest. You must see it to believe the time taken for the putting up the make-up for the various characters of Kathakali and the effort behind applying the make-up. The following pictures show the artists meticulously preparing for the stage performance.
Earlier in the day, there was a spiritual oration conducted by Brahmkumaris, Attingal. The orator (seen in the picture below) touched up on a number of aspects of leading a spiritual life.
Amidst all these speeches and performances, the Mahavishnu temple stood in its spiritual glow as well as in the illumination of chuttuvilakku, as you can see from the following photo.
