Book Synopsis Two Masterpieces of Kūṭiyāṭṭam by : Heike Oberlin
Download or read book Two Masterpieces of Kūṭiyāṭṭam written by Heike Oberlin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kūṭiyāṭṭam, India’s only living traditional Sanskrit theatre, has been continually performed in Kerala for at least a thousand years. The actors and drummers create an entire world in the empty space of the stage by using spectacular costumes and make-up and by an immensely rich interplay of words, rhythms, mime, and gestures. This volume focuses on Mantrāṅkam and Aṅgulīyāṅkam, the two great masterpieces of Kūṭiyāṭṭam. It provides fundamental general remarks and relates them to pan-Indian reflections on aesthetics, philology, ritual studies, and history. Authored by scholars and active Kūṭiyāṭṭam performers, this is the first attempt to bring together a set of sustained, multi-faceted interpretations of these masterpieces-in-performance. With an aim to open up this ancient art form to readers interested in South Indian culture, religion, theatre and performance studies, philology as well as literature, this volume offers a new way to access a major art form of pre-modern and modern Kerala.

Book excerpt: Books dealing with ritualistic music, devotional dance forms and allied arts of Kerala arerare. Not much research has gone deep into these areas which cut across the periphery andsuperficial layers and touch the real core. The reasons could be many the practitionersinability to verbalise the content and substance of their art and their inhibition to violatethe rigid, protective, orthodox rules and norms intended to preserve their sanctity.The concept of Sangeetam that is Geetam, Vadyam and Nrityam or the Triad Arts, existedbefore fifteenth century, is still in vogue in the music of Kerala temples.This book deals with the Sopaana music, the traditional music of Kerala and seeks tothrow light on various ritualistic music and musical instruments and ritualistic dance Thalinanka Nrityam the precursor of Mohiniattam. Many facts and information relatedto the three areas, which were rarely known have been identified through systematicresearch of primary and secondary sources, especially the information contained in theold palm leaf manuscripts collected from ancient families and temples. It is hoped thatthe work will pave the way for those who want to go further in studying the temple arts ofKerala.

Download or read book Eruma Pããrãã written by GEORGE K GEORGE and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `When little Kusumom woke up that day on the Mala Arayan hill of Erumapra, the old Eruma Pããrãã, she never had any idea that that day would change her life, forever. Unknown to her, she was standing on the same courtyard where a few generations back, her ancestor, the occult priest of the Lord Ayyappan of Sabarimala had conducted his affairs. Baker had converted these hills to Christianity, including her family. She could see the Erumapra Church below. Her mother was nowhere to be seen and she goes in search of her, only to see her mother in a compromising position with the vicar of the church, at the stream where the family once had their sacred grove. She from then on, became the custodian of a secret, a secret that had the potential to destroy the moral fabric of her neo-Christian village and the very existence of her family. Eruma Pããrãã is a simple story of a girl from the Mala Arayan tribal hills of Kerala, who had a past to carry and a present, which she had to endure till she takes the bold step to shake her off her past, ready to face the future on her own. The novel also narrates the myths and folklores about the Mala Arayan hills around Erumapra, issue of caste in the Christian churches and also a different narration of the conversions done by the European missionaries around these hills.

Book Synopsis Before the Break of Dawn by : Devaki Nilayamgode
Download or read book Before the Break of Dawn written by Devaki Nilayamgode and published by Global Collective Publishers. This book was released on 2022-06-19 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before the Break of Dawn: Secrets of the Namboodiri Women is a celebration of life in a Kerala Brahmin household. Most of the narratives start before dawn. The ordinary business of having a bath, the almost compulsory visit to the temple, the task of caring for the unapologetically patriarchal male Namboodiris, the retiring ladies of the house and the Irikkanammas, all following a strict code of conduct. One can smell the lazy smoke of the kitchen fires, the clatter of vessels being cleaned as the household gradually comes awake, brass lamps burnished to look like gold, the chill of the sleeping waters of the pond, the subtle fragrances of blooms easily identifiable by their smell alone, the simple but wholesome and highly repetitive meals of the day, interspersed with rare festival days, the highlight of which is obviously the feast, with the winding down of the day into soft nights where birdsong and fireflies are very much part of life.
