Raavan

My maiden kathakali photoshoot...was so excited abt it!!!

 

To my friends who are new to this dance form and Indian mythology in general...Raavan is a character from an epic called the Ramayana. The long short of it is that he is the bad guy (This is inference from the most popular versions of the Ramayana, you may also find some texts that refer to him as the hero.)

 

In the performance that I was watching today Raavan expresses his love for Sita (aka the hero Rams wife...lols) to his own wife Mandodari.

 

Am working on a pic from the above mentioned scene...its a bit cluttered...fingers crossed
