Art & Culture Chavittunaadakam

 
   

Chavittu Nadakam is a folklore art practiced by Christians in some parts of Kerala state of south India.

Offshoot of theatre, this form of play was prevalent among the Christian community spanning from Kodungallur to Ambalappuzha. Training is provided to performers before staging the play. The master is known as Annavi. The whole play is performed through musicals.

The main characters sport broached dress, headdress and crowns. The soldiers sport hats fitted with quills. The bell and drum are two instruments used as back ground score. Most of the times the stories related to Christianity or Western history or Biblical stories are played.
