Answer:

${\tt{\blue{\underline{\underline{\huge{❄Answer:}}}}}}$

• ❄Kathakali is a ritualistic dance-drama of Vedic age origin. In Kathakali the story is enlivened in the dance. Natural and graceful movements embodied by gestures and passions distinct Kathakali from other ritualistic art performance. Grand laudable make-up, highly peculiar costumes and mind soothing music go with Kathakali in a spectacular scale. The costumes of Kathakali have resemblance with the costumes of Koodiyaattam and Chakyaarkooth.
• ❄Kathakali was conceived by Kottarakkara Thampuran, an earlier ruler of Travancore (south part of Kerala) in the name of Ramanaattam. Ramanaattam was renamed to Attakatha. Attakatha was again renamed to the present name of Kathakali, capsuled elaboration of story by dance and gestures. Kathakali is woven on the story of Lord Rama as against Krishnaattam woven on the story of Lord Krishna.
• ❄Kathakali is more popular than Chaakyaarkooth, Koodiyaattam and other forms of art worshipping dance-dramas. Acting, gestures, hand poses are borrowed from Chaakyaarkooth and Koodiyaattam. In the matter of facial make-up, Kathakali has its own style with unrivalled attraction.
