KANIYARKALI
KANIYARKALI ARANGETRAM ON REPUBLIC DAY
Kaniyarkali (കണ്യാര്കളി*) is a festival usually celebrated in March or April in many of the Kurumba Bhagavathy temples or Tharas (local meeting places) in the Palakkad district of Kerala, India. The Kanyarkali (also known as Desathukali) are fast-moving, militant dances attuned to rhythmic devotional folk songs and asuravadyas.They are said to originate from the pursuit of martial arts when the region was under threat of attack from nearby Konganadu. Kannyarkali arose when dance and comedy were added to the martial training sessions.The dances may be performed in either the ritualistic Vattakkali style or the more relaxed Porattu style.
