Kathakali (katha for story, kali for performance or play) is an expressive form of Indian dance-drama. It originated in the South Indian state of Kerala, over 500 years ago and is considered as one of the oldest dance forms. It is a spectacular combination of drama, dance, music and ritual. Characters with vividly painted faces and elaborate costumes re-enact stories from the Hindu epics, Mahabharatha and Ramayana.
Culture shock, but amazing in its uniqueness :)

non of these videos will enhance your understading of kathakali, because its very complicated art form. you can watch some videos of specific stories like narakasura vadham is on youtube.
