Literally, meaning the 'dance of the celestial enchantress', the sensual dance of Mohiniyattam is a distinctive classical dance form of Kerala.
This sensuous dance of the enchantress contains elements of Bharathnatyam as well as the classical and folk dances of the state. Slow, graceful, swaying movements of the body and the limbs and highly emotive eyes and hand gestures are unique to this dance form.
Costumes / Accessories / Make Up
The simple, elegant gold filigreed dress, in, pure white or ivory is akin to the traditional attire of the women of Kerala.
Dance Style
Usually performed as a solo dance, Mohiniyattam is very lyrical in its rendering.
