Patcha - A Kathakali Dancer

A humble attempt to pay tribute to a dancer that carries one of the most ancient forms of classical Indian dance - Kathakali, dating back 1500 years. Kathakali Dancer's makeup and costume takes hours to put on, his costume weighing a ton, and his devotion to this art - divine. Pachcha (green) with lips painted brilliant coral red portrays noble characters and sages such as Krishna, Vishnu, Rama, Shiva, Surya, Yudhishthira, Arjuna, Nala and philosopher-kings.
