Markkam Kali
It is a counterpart of Thiruvathira Kali
played by women belonging to the Christian community. Here also
the dancers attired in traditional white mundu frilled at the back
to cover the buttocks, chatta (Jacket), rich jewellery including
Mekkamothiram (an ornamental ring worn by the Christian ladies on
the upper lobe of the ear, now considered old fashioned). The dancers
sing in praise of Jesus Christ to the varying rhythms of drum beating.
It is comparatively brisk in action. |
