Kerala's iconic Kathakali, one of India's most celebrated classical dance-drama traditions, captivated young students at Bhavan's Vidya Mandir in Elamakkara, Kochi, as SPIC MACAY organised a special cultural performance to promote India's rich artistic heritage.

With elaborate costumes, vibrant makeup, expressive facial movements and powerful storytelling, the all-women troupe presented Dakshayagam, portraying King Daksha's pride and Lord Shiva's divine justice. Students watched with fascination, closely following every gesture and expression.
