Art & Culture
Spectacular visual
effects and stunning
music are hallmarks
of Kerala's
performing arts. In
a land which cannot
boast of monumental
architectural feats,
unlike many other
parts of India, the
performing arts,
both individually
and collectively,
make up for the lost
magnificence. No
other State in India
can match the
grandeur and
creativity of
Kerala's performing
arts. The classical
and ritual arts of
Kerala have always
enjoyed a rich
patronage, from the
former kings who
ruled the state to
the latter day
democratic
governments.
