Have you ever immersed yourself in the cultural world of South Indian dance in Kerala? Ever witnessed Kalari or Kathakali? In Kannur, you’ll get to closely watch these traditional dance forms and interact with the artists to understand the significance of every small story that these dance forms depict.

The historic land of Kannur proudly represents and showcases the rich culture and heritage of Kerala.

Kerala’s cultural heritage has more to offer its visitors with a breathtaking display of storytelling – the classical dance form of Kathakali.

The expressive eyes, intricate gestures, colourful and vibrant costumes and elaborate makeup add depth to the performance. Every small facial expression, flickering of eyes and subtle hand movements cast a spell on those who watch it. After the dance performance, you can even interact with the artists and learn about the history and significance of each art form.

Kannur clearly displays a world of natural beauty and cultural richness. The soul of this ancient town lies in its nearby beaches, historic sites and lively local markets.
