Kerala has a composite and cosmopolitan culture which was the contribution of several people and races. When we analyse the cultural history of Kerala we can see the importance of temple art forms. These art forms cater the entertainment of upper castes, mainly Brahmins and Kshatriyas. Kuthu , Krishnanattam, Kathakali and Koodiyattam were the products of this culture. This cultural phenomenon reflects the style of life of the people and it also affects the ‘economic culture’ of the people of Kerala. Krishnanattam- Glances across ,the screen An analysis, of the Divine Divine Dance, Drama under ,the Rubric ,of Cultural Economics. INTRODUCTION on eight successive nights. On the ninth day ‘Avatharam’ was to be presented again and to end the series auspiciously. The importance of this art form in Guruvayoor temple has been attributed to the fact that, it is considered as a prime form of offering Krishnanattam under the rubric of Cultural Economics: by the devotees to the ‘God Krishna’ for the fulfillment of their As Du Mount states, there is a definite relationship between caste and wishes.

    Chapter Iv Traces of Historical Facts From

    CHAPTER IV TRACES OF HISTORICAL FACTS FROM SANDESAKAVYAS & SHORT POEMS Sandesakavyas occupy an eminent place among the lyrics in Sanskrit literature. Though Valmiki paved the way in the initial stage it was Kalidasa who developed it into a perfect form of poetic literature. Meghasandesa, the unique work of Kalidasa, was re- ceived with such enthusiasam that attempts were made to emulate it all over India. As result there arose a significant branch of lyric literature in Sanskrit. Kerala it perhaps the only region which produced numerous works of real merit in this field. The literature of Kerala is full of poems of the Sandesa type. Literature can be made use of to yield information about the social history of a land and is often one of the main sources for reconstructing the ancient social customs and manners of the respective periods. History as a separate study has not been seriously treated in Sanskrit literature. Apart form literary merits, the Sanskrit literature of Kerala contains several historical accounts of the country with the exception of a few historical Kavyas, it is the Sandesakavyas that give us some historical details. Among the Sanskrit works, the Sandesa Kavya branch stands in a better position in this field (matter)Since it contains a good deal of historical materials through the description of the routes to be followed by the messengers in the Sandesakavyas. The Sandesakavyas play an impor- tant role in depicting the social history of their ages. The keralate Sandesakavyas are noteworthy because of the geographical, historical, social and cultural information they supply about the land.

    Krishnattam in the Twenty-First Century1

    ASIATIC, VOLUME 11, NUMBER 2, DECEMBER 2017 Circumscribed by Space and Time: An Assessment of the Popularity and Impact of Traditional Dance-drama Krishnattam in the Twenty-first Century1 Maya Vinai2 and M.G. Prasuna3 Birla Institute of Technology and Science-Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, India Article Received: 15 May 2017 Article Accepted: 30 October 2017 Abstract Temple art forms in South India form a unique site for conglomeration of art, culture, historicity and belief systems, and are indicative of the underlying social reality. Kerala, the southernmost tip of India, is perhaps one of the very few states where 2000-year old Sanskrit dramas are still performed in a conventional manner within the premises of the temple. Krishnattam, a form of dance-drama which depicts the journey of Lord Krishna in eight stages from avataram (birth of Lord Krishna) to swargarohanam (renouncement of the human form), is performed in temples like Guruvayoor. Despite all the technological advancements in and around the temple premises, Krishnattam has maintained its sanctity and authenticity, from the musical instruments played to the selection of artists for the performance. People still throng to book a performance of Krishnattam six months in advance. Our area of focus in the Krishnattam performance is the spell and impact it creates amongst the audience who are not performance critics, literary critics or aesthetic theorists – the majority of them being simply devotees or pilgrims who come to visit the temple. Our argument here is that the popularity of Krishnattam lies not just in the fact that it occupies a sacred space in the public imagination due to its undiluted ritualistic mores and highly stylised dance techniques but also due to the recuperative impact it has on the audience witnessing various episodes like avataram, rasakreeda, kaliyamardhanam or swayamvaram.
