Kathakali is the dance from the southernmost state of India its centre has been the region of Kerala and Malabar.This tradition of dance-drama has been popular in the Malabar region primarily in the form of Krishna and Rama ballets.Even female roles in the story line are performed to perfection by male artists.These dance postures are more complex than those used in Bharatnatyam.One of the peculiarities of this dance form is its costume and very elaborate make-up of the face. The headdress in Kathakali is of special significance as it also defines the hierarchical status of different artists participating in the performance.
The beginning of the performance is preceded by Chaidakaran, a ritual playing of drums. Traditionally the stage presentation of this dance was immediately preceded by a practice session called sevakali and undertaken in the precincts of a temple. Late Shankaram Namboodiri and Gopinath have been Kathakali artists of repute.

Kathakali is one of the traditional Indian dance forms which has its roots from Kerala. The artist wears a lot of makeup, costumes, and face-masks. This is the form of art which includes the genres of storytelling. The folk mythologies, spiritual ideas, and religious ideologies of the Hindu epics are depicted through the dance. Initially, only the males were allowed to perform the dance, but now it includes the women artists too.
