Koodyattom

KOODYATTOM is the oldest existing classical art in the world, recognised by UNESCO as a Human Heritage Art. It was originated much before Kerala's classical art Kathakali and most other theatrical forms in the world. It is considered to be at least 2,000 years old. Kulasekhara Varma Cheraman Perumal, an ancient king of Kerala, was known as the creator of Koodiyattam in the present form.
