Dear Prateeksha,
We had a wonderful time at Kerala;
- Transportation vehicle and service of driver Ranjit was excellent.
- Hotel Riveria Suites was very homely and excellent.
- Hotel Forest Haven : Due to the ongoing refurbishing work going on, there was somewhat a bit of disturbance and dust. Otherwise location of the hotel and the food service by the restaurant staff was very good.
- Hotel Cardomam county; Stay and food was too top class.
- Hotel Pearl Residency: hotel rooms were very good and food was fair enough.
- Houseboat was excellent; service was good; food was good to average; expensive fish bought by us was quite spicy. Overall stay was fantastic.
- To sum up, the arrangements made during the tour with all aspects especially security factor (since we were a ladies group of 09 people) was very good except for minor hicupps. We have already recommended Chaitanya holidays to many people.
Thank you for the kind cooperation.
Thanks and Regards,
Rita Salian

The most famous performing art in kerala is Bharatha Natyam Bharatha Natyam is a
South Indian classical dance form that developed chiefly in Tamil Nadu over the
past three thousand years. The name Bharatha Natyam was coined in the 1930's to
represent the three major elements of dance in the three syllables of the word Bharatha
- bhava (facial expression), raga (melody), and tala (rhythm). Originally, this
art was known as sadi or dasiattam, and was performed in Hindu temples by female
dancers called devadasis, or servants of God. Performances were a part of daily
rituals and religious or festive occasions, where dance was considered to be an
offering to the deities. Eventually, this dance form made its way into the royal
courts, and in the 18th and 19th century Thanjavur courts, Bharatha Natyam developed
into its present form. A period of decline in popularity was followed by a revival
of Bharatha Natyam in the 1920's and 30's, after which it found its place on the
modern stage. Bharatha Natyam is known for its rhythmic, vigorous footwork, crisp
movements, sculpturesque poses and combining the energy of its Nritta (rhythmic
movements) with the emotion of its Nritya (expressive movements).
ChakyarKoothu is one of the eminent traditional art of Kerala which is associated
which is associated with Chakyars. Historical references are interpreted regarding
the Kerala art form 'Koothu'. The 'Koothu' was performed and even now continous
to be performed according and injunctions laid down in the 'Natya Sastra' by 'Bharatamuni'.
The principle scriptures relating to 'Chakyar Koothu' are the 'Champus' The place
where the art performed is called 'Koothambalam'. Chavittu Nadakam is a folklore
art practiced by Christians in some parts of Kerala state of south India. This play
is popular in the Christian community spanning from Kodungallur to AmbalappuzhaThe
master is known as Annavi. The whole play is performed through musicals. Kathakali
is around 300 years old. Kathakali means (Katha-story, Kali-Play). Most of the plays
are from the Hindu epics - Ramayana, Mahabharata and Puranas. Kerala owes its transnational
fame to this classical dance form, which combines facets of ballet, opera, masque
and the pantomime.
Kaikottikkali, is a very popular group dance of Kerala. Thiruvathirakali is performed
by the women of Hindu community, often during festive seasons like Onam and the
Thiruvathira day in the Malayalam month of Dhanu (December- January).One of the
performers sings the first line of the Thiruvathira pattu (song) while the rest
repeat it in chorus. The songs are often narrations from the folk epics. Nowadays
Kaikottikkali has become popular dance form for all seasons. Kalari-Ppayattu is
the ancient martial art of Kerala. The origin of Kalari-Payat is obscure, since
it has been nurtured from the oldest martia1 tradition of South-India of Dravidian
origin and later influenced by Aryan martial traditions, which is an off short of
Dhanur-Veda (the ancient Indian Science of war).
